Knowing Your Partner Portal Console

When you sign in to Partner Portal, familiarize yourself with the user roles, navigating pages, accessing help, and how to sign out.

User Roles and Their Privileges

Your user role controls what you can do. Here are the available roles:

The Partner Member role lets you create, update, submit, and publish listings; manage leads; view reports; monitor app installations; add standard terms of use; and manage archived listings.
The Partner Administrator role gives you the same privileges as the partner member role plus a few more. You can update the company profile, manage the users who can access Partner Portal, and assign roles to users. The My Company link displays in the navigation bar only if you’re a partner administrator.

When you sign up as an Oracle Cloud Marketplace publisher, Oracle grants you access to the Partner Portal application and assigns you the role of partner administrator. You—or anyone you assign the partner administrator role—can then grant access to other users in your company.
