  3. Enter a new password according to the instructions and click Save.
    The user is immediately prompted to configure partners profile.
  4. On the Profile page, enter the mandatory details to complete the partner profile and click Save.
    The user is immediately prompted to link new partner account with an existing account in IBM MaaS360.
  5. In the Link Administrator Account to IBMid pop-up window complete one of the following actions.
    • If you have an existing IBMid, select Link account to associate the account with your existing IBMid to manage the account.
    • If you are a new partner, skip this step and create a new IBMid when prompted.
    Notes:
    • Depending on your role, you can perform various tasks. If you need access to additional features, contact your primary administrator to update your roles.
