Eclaim.com - User Accounts and Security Best Practices
•
•
Additional Eclaim Administrator accounts
Have more than one Eclaim Administrator account for your Eclaim Serial Number (you can have up to three). The Eclaim Administrator account is
important because it is able to add and delete users within the Eclaim Serial Number as well as change user account information, including User ID,
password, and authorizations to Eclaim functions. Having a "backup" Eclaim Administrator account can be very helpful.
•
If you are an Eclaim Administrator, you can see a list of all login accounts for your Eclaim Serial Number by selecting the User Access Control menu
item. The User Access Control function will display a list of all users for your Eclaim Serial Number, with their user ID, last name, first name, group
(which indicates if they are an Eclaim Administrator or User type), active indicator, and last access date and time. If no other user in the list displays
"Eclaim Administrator" under the Group heading, there is no secondary Administrator. To update an existing user to the Eclaim Administrator group,
click on the user’s User ID and select Eclaim Administrator in the User Group field.
•
•
Do not share Eclaim logins
Each person accessing Eclaim.com should have their own Eclaim login account, with their own User ID and a password that only they know. This
provides the best security for the Eclaim application and your business data.
•
If you are an Eclaim Administrator, you can add users by selecting the User Access Control menu item and clicking the "Add New User" button.
•
•
SPM Service Manager
It is important to keep your Business Partner information up to date in the Service Partner Management (SPM) system, particularly the Service Manager
information. Eclaim Technical Support uses the Service Manager information to confirm password reset requests from Eclaim Administrators. Note that
password reset requests received from those with user level login accounts are referred to the local Business Partner Eclaim Administrator. Eclaim
Technical Support can only reset passwords for Eclaim Administrators, and only when the Service Manager can be verified in SPM. Password resets for
Eclaim Administrators can be avoided if a secondary Administrator has been created for the location (see instructions above). Eclaim Administrators can
reset passwords for both the user group level and the administrator group level.
•
You can access SPM at http://www.ibm.com/pc/partner/spm/. Please review the SPM "Contacts view" for the current designated Service Manager,
indicated as contact type "SM".
•
•
Maintaining Eclaim logins
Eclaim is designed to be a "self managed" application, meaning that each Business Partner Eclaim Administrator is responsible for the management of
login accounts for their Eclaim Serial Number. The issuance of Eclaim.com User IDs and the protection of User ID passwords is the sole responsibility of
the Business Partner. It is highly recommended Business Partner Eclaim Administrators periodically review the active Eclaim users for their location and
remove inactive or unnecessary users.
•
•
Do not send passwords in email
Whenever you communicate Eclaim login account information to Eclaim Technical Support or anyone else, do not include the password in email.
Communicate the password by phone if required.
•
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact Eclaim Technical Support at (949)450-9150 option 2, or e-mail us at
support@eclaim.com
