Setting up Access to the Case Portal

Overview

Every SugarCRM customer is allowed at least one support-authorized contact, dependent on their purchased level of support. Only support-authorized contacts may submit cases to Sugar Support via the case portal. This article covers how a support-authorized contact can create an online account with SugarCRM and get set up for case portal access.

  2. Click "Get Help" next to your user profile icon, then select the "Case Portal" option to access the Case Portal.
  3. Complete the online form to request access to the case portal. You will need to select the product (e.g., Sugar Serve, Sugar Market) purchased from SugarCRM and enter your subscription key, which can be found in your Sugar instance via Admin > License Management. You must have administrator access in Sugar to view and obtain this key. Please reach out to your system administrator if you need further assistance.
    Note: For Sugar Market customers, the Account Name field must be completed since the subscription key is not required.
  4. Click "Register" to send your case portal activation request to the Sugar Support team. Your case portal account will be enabled within one to two business days from submission, and you will be notified via a case email when it has been set up.

Note: If your case portal account is not yet enabled and you need urgent assistance with your Sugar application, please email Sugar Support.
