End-Client access to the Client Portal is automatic for anyone who has gone through the prospect flow and created a profile for themselves. For clients who have had accounts opened through the Advisor-led process, access to the Client Portal must be turned on from within the platform by an Admin or Advisor.

Enabling Client Portal Access for End-Clients

Clients who opened accounts themselves through the Client Portal will already have access to the Portal. For others brought on through Advisor-led account opening or who opened accounts that were later imported to AdvisorEngine, perform the following steps to enable Client Portal access:

1. Navigate to Run Business > User Management > End-Client Access.
2. Locate the client in the list. You can filter to see only Clients without User using the drop-down in the upper left.
3. Click Create User in the Actions column of the client’s row. The End-Client User Settings window will open.
4. Enter a User ID for the client (must be a valid email address). You may also override default access settings for the user as described below if needed.
5. Click Create.

The client receives an email encouraging them to log in to their new client portal account.

Editing Client Portal Settings Per-User

Once a client exists as an End-Client User, you can edit individual settings for their Client Portal if needed. To make Per-User changes for the Client Portal:

1. Navigate to Run Business > User Management > End-Client Access.
2. Locate the client to edit in the list. You can filter to see only Existing End-Client Users using the drop-down in the upper left.
3. Click the settings gear in the Actions column of the client’s row. The End-Client User Settings window will open.
4. Adjust any settings as needed:
• First Name, Last Name: Name that appears on the Client Portal.
Note: Name changes here only affect the Platform. You will need to make the same change with the Custodian as well.
• User ID: Manually update the end-client’s email address.
• Active User: Manually enable or disable the end-client’s access to the Client Portal.
• Reset Password: Send the User ID an email to create a new password. The link in the email will be valid for 12 hours.
• Monte Carlo Preferences: This setting is not currently used.
• Robo Eligible?: By default all accounts will be Robo Eligible. Clear the checkbox for any accounts that you do not want the User to be able to manage themselves on the Client Portal. Account will still be visible on the Portal.
• Access: Override the OWM settings for access to sections of Client Portal.
• Delete: Completely remove the User. Cannot be undone.
5. Click Save when all changes are made.

Ony changes made to override the Client Portal settings will affect the experience of only the End-Client User you edit.
