Features Available to MSP/ISP on a Collaborated Site

After the maintenance/installation service partner (MSP/ISP) accepts the site collaboration, the MSP can perform configurations and operations which the customer authorized on the collaborated site, and the ISP can add, configure, and hand over devices on the collaborated site. The MSP can also release device permissions, and both the MSP and ISP can cancel the site collaboration. If the MSP is authorized to manage the site, the MSP can directly apply from the customer for device permissions.

Note:

The MSP/ISP who accepted the site collaboration cannot invite another MSP/ISP for collaboration on the site.

Customer Site

For MSP

Live view and playback, arming and disarming, remote configuration, device upgrade, linkage rule configuration, DDNS configuration, password reset, exception notification configuration, and deleting the site.

Note:

If the MSP deletes the site, it indicates that the site authorization is discarded by the MSP, but the installer can still manage the sites and their devices.

For ISP

MSP Applies from Customer for Device Permissions

If the MSP is authorized to manage the site, the MSP can directly apply from the customer for device permissions. The installer who invited the MPS for collaboration on the site will receive the notification after the MSP sends the application for device permissions.

For how the MSP applies from the customer for device permissions, refer to Apply for Device Permission.

MSP Releases Device Permissions

If the MSP does not need device permissions, or the MSP finished the device configuration task earlier than the planned time, the MSP can release the permission.

For how the MSP releases device permissions, refer to Release the Permission for Devices.

MSP/ISP Cancels Site Collaboration

The MSP/ISP can cancel the site collaboration. After the site collaboration is canceled, the site (and also the devices on the site) will be deleted from the MSP/ISP's Hik-Partner Pro account, and the granted permissions will be removed.
