Creating Partner Users

Adding a Partner User

Only authorized users of a partner can send documents to IBM webMethods B2B. Therefore, to send a document, a partner profile must have at least one user with valid credentials associated with it. An authorized user of a partner is therefore referred to as a partner user.

Note
Ensure that the partner user (the username) you create in IBM webMethods B2B does not match with any of the tenant’s usernames existing in your IBM webMethods iPaaS account. You may notice an access denied error if you create a tenant’s username same as an existing partner user.
