# Partner Users

Partner users are your resellers and channel partners — people outside your company who manage a book of customers on your behalf. They sign in to the **partner portal**, where they work their assigned accounts rather than the whole tenant. Use this role whenever someone needs to act for customers they're responsible for, but should never see your full admin configuration.

## How to create one

Open the **user menu** (your name, bottom-left) → **Settings → Users**, click **Add User**, set **Role** to **Partner**, choose a partner **profile**, and link the user to their billing account in the **External Account** field. The partner receives an Auth0 email to set their own password.

## What partner users do

From the partner portal, a Partner user manages their assigned customer accounts and their own subscription. Their reach is bounded by their **profile** — so two partners can have different permissions even though they share the role. Like Customer users, Partners carry an **External Account** link; Admin and CSR users do not.

**Gotcha:** the single **Partner** role now covers what used to be split into separate partner-administrator and account-executive distinctions. There's no separate partner role to choose — differentiate seniority or reach through the **profile** instead.

**Who and when:** assign Partner to external reseller staff; assign **CSR** to your own internal support reps, since the two have different portals and scopes.

See [User Roles](/product/using-peakcommerce/users-and-user-roles/user-roles.md), [Profiles & Permissions](/product/using-peakcommerce/profiles-and-permissions.md), and the [Partner Portal overview](/product/partner-portal/partner-portal-overview.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.peakcommerce.com/product/using-peakcommerce/users-and-user-roles/partner-users.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
