Updated over a week ago

Introduction

In this article, you’ll learn how to create a Portal for a client and configure the basics. This is useful when you want a secure, client-facing workspace to share resources and collaborate outside of email.

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

  • Portal is enabled for your organization.

  • You have the right role to manage Portals, typically Admin.

  • You know which client you are setting up.

  • You have decided which resources you plan to share.

Steps

Create a Portal

  1. Open Org settings.

  2. Select Portals.

  3. Select Create Portal.

  4. Enter client details, including the client name and website URL.

  5. Optional: Configure MFA requirements for Portal guests, via an authenticator app or SMS.

    • MFA is a firm-side choice.

    • You can configure MFA during setup and update the requirement later if your policy changes.

  6. Select Save.

Branding (optional)

Add branding so the Portal matches your firm’s brand.

  • If you want branding to apply to all Portals, configure branding at the org level.

  • If you want branding to apply to one Portal only, configure it in that Portal’s settings.

Expected result

You will know this worked when:

  • The Portal appears in Org settings → Portals.

  • You can open the Portal page and access settings for members, sharing, and branding.
