Designated Contact

Designated Contact Access Requirements

To be given special Designated Contact (read-write) access permissions, contacts must meet these requirements:

1. By becoming a Designated Contact, you acknowledge that you understand the Terms and Conditions of being a Designated Contact. You can review the current Terms at any time at: http://www.genesys.com/customer-care/terms-and-conditions.
2. A named Designated Approver from within the Sold To Account who can approve contact access requests where Case information will be visible.
3. The contact must provide a corporate email address that is assigned to that contact individually. Personal email addresses and email aliases are not accepted as the main communication address.
4. The contact must have access to the Genesys Customer Care web portal, My Support, and agree to receive notices on My Support.
5. Contacts are expected to be trained and hold current certification on the products for which they open Cases.
6. The contact must work for the Support Owner or have approval from the Support Owner. Employees of the End User for this maintenance agreement cannot be Designated Contacts unless the End User is a division or subsidiary of the Sold To, or the End User has a direct maintenance agreement with Genesys (and is also the Sold To).
7. If all Service Contracts are terminated or closed for all Sold To and End User combinations for which a Designated Contact has access, the contact will lose Designated Contact access. Please see the Customer Care Terms and Conditions for more information on why a contact may lose Designated Contact access.

Other employees of the Sold To and End User companies on a Service Contract can be granted read-only access to the Cases for that contract. These contacts are not considered Designated Contacts.
