Creating and Managing Enterprises and Accounts in Qvara (Purple) Portal

Background

Accounts represent individual customer organizations, while Enterprises are optional groupings of those accounts, created for easier organization and management.


Account
An Account represents a single business, location, or entity that uses the platform’s voice and communication services.

Key Characteristics:
  • Assigned to a Reseller
  • Can have multiple users, phone numbers, and configurations
  • Includes details such as service type, industry, timezone, and default call settings
  • Typically aligns with a specific business customer
Example: ABC Dental – San Diego (an individual office or client)


Enterprise
An Enterprise is a grouping of related accounts, created for organizational or operational purposes. It is not customer-facing and does not impact billing or service directly.

Key Characteristics:
  • Created and managed by Resellers
  • Used to categorize accounts based on any internal logic, such as:
    • Customer parent companies
    • Regional branches
    • Industry types
    • Project phases
  • Optional: not all accounts need to belong to an enterprise
Example: ABC Dental Corporate (grouping all ABC Dental locations across the U.S.)

      4. Extension Outbound Call Limit: Controls how many outbound calls a single extension can place at the same time (helps prevent system overuse or fraud)

      1. Assigned Admins: Displays a list of users with administrative privileges for the account.
      2. You can click a user’s name to view and edit their role or permissions. This will redirect you to the Users section for further management.
    2. Container ID and Tenant Number:
      1. These are internal system values used for backend operations such as account linking, container-level management, or API-based integration. Most users won’t need to edit or reference these, but they are helpful for technical support and diagnostics.
