Introduction
The Supplier Portal is a unified account system that allows your suppliers to manage relationships with multiple brand customers through a single login. This replaces the previous system, where each supplier had separate accounts for each brand they worked with.
With the Supplier Portal, your suppliers gain access to Delogue 2.0 features, including subsupplier management, and enhanced supply chain mapping (coming soon) across all their brand relationships.

What is the Supplier Portal?
The Supplier Portal is a new way for suppliers to access Delogue PLM. Instead of having separate accounts for each brand customer, suppliers create one unified Supplier Portal Account that connects them to all their brand customers.

Before the Supplier Portal:
- Each supplier had a separate account for each brand they worked with
- Suppliers had to log in separately to access each brand's data
- Brands managed supplier information & users
- Duplicate supplier records were common
With the Supplier Portal:
- Suppliers have one account for all brand relationships
- Suppliers log in once and access all their brand customers
- Suppliers manage their own information & users.
NOTE: Brands still have the ability to manage brand-specific access for supplier users.
- Suppliers can build their facilities and subsupplier libraries to be leveraged across all brand relationships.

Manage the supplier users
Adding new users
Your portal supplier is in charge of adding any new supplier users to their organization.
This means that you can no longer add any new supplier users directly in your legacy platform or in the supplier portal.
Any Supplier Admins from the supplier organization, will be able to add the new users directly in Delogue 2.0.
Manage supplier user's access
As a Brand user with either the 'company admin' or the 'supplier management' role, you will be able to assign access for each of the registered supplier users.
- Access to all brands: this will allow the user to access all brands within your platform.
- Yes / No toggle
- Assigned brand: this restricts the user in accessing all brands within your platform. If no brands are selected, then the user will not have access to your platform.
- Drop-down selection of brands
