Creating an Episerver cloud account

This topic describes how to set up an Episerver cloud account, and to get access to the self-service capabilities included in Episerver Customer-Centric Digital Experience Platform. The Episerver cloud account identifies a user and ensures that proper authorization is applied when accessing information for your DXP projects.

Prerequisites

You need an organizational email address like firstname.lastname@company.com, associated with an enabled business Microsoft Live account. If your organization already has a verified Microsoft account, you can also use this.

Note: Generic accounts like access@somedomain.com, or private hotmail-type accounts like my-private-mail@live.com, cannot be used.

Account access options

Select account access as follows from the Access Request form (below):

• Access to usage statistics (DXP Dashboard)
  Read access to consumption data in DXP Dashboard. 
• Preproduction deploy and troubleshoot (DXP Mgmt Portal)
  Deploy to Preproduction and troubleshoot from DXP Management Portal.
• Production deploy and troubleshoot (DXP Mgmt Portal)
  Deploy to Production and troubleshoot from DXP Management Portal.
• Technical ownership (DXP dashboard; DXP Mgmt Portal)
  Read access to consumption and site information in DXP Dashboard and DXP Management Portal. 

How it works

1. Request access.

   Submit the following form for each customer/environment for which you want access. Make sure you provide correct and complete information. When Episerver receives the information, you are normally granted access within 3 business days. You receive an email notification when access is provided.
