Proxy partners

Proxy partners is a feature that enables receive of multiple documents using only one partner (VANS provider). This feature requires that a list of partners is whitelisted for use with the proxy partner. This means that if a document received specifies that it comes from Partner 1 and this partner is not whitelisted the document fails.

Enabling proxy partners

Proxy partners are enabled by default but you need specific access to it.

Permissions

There are three permissions that gives access to proxy partners:

Partner Action ProxyPartnerCreate
Partner Action ProxyPartnerEdit
Partner Action ProxyPartnerShow

ProxyPartnerShow allows you to see which partners are whitelisted. Both on the proxy partner and on the partner itself.

Creating a proxy partner

By ticking the 'Is Proxy Partner' checkbox, when creating a new partner, you define that the partner is a proxy partner. You can’t change a partner from a proxy partner to a non-proxy partner or the other way around when the partner is first created.

See the 'New Partner' page in the user guide for more information on how to create a partner.

You can see that a partner has been ticked as a proxy partner in the screenshot below.

On the partner details screen, you can see whether a partner is a proxy partner or not, by the green label located next to the partner name as shown in the screenshot below.

Whitelisting partners

On the Partner Detail Page, you can see the Proxy Settings tab [1].

If you don't see the tab, ready the next section (Permission).
