Partner Organization
- Partner Organization — Your Organization, which might contain your own agency websites, and summarizes your activity and rewards across your client work.
- Client Organization — A separate Organization you create for an individual client, managed by your Partner Organization but used by the client, with its own team, billing, and login.
As you take on more client work, you earn Partner Points Points earned in the CloudCannon Partner Program for each active client and the seats they use. CloudCannon can also award additional points for milestones and campaigns. As your points grow, your partnership moves through partner tiers that unlock benefits and a downloadable Expert Badge. A set of features available to your Organization, the monthly usage limits for resources, and the price you pay for access to those features and resources, monthly or annually. Each Organization in CloudCannon can have one Subscription Plan, and can update or cancel at any time. A separate Organization that a Partner Organization manages but that the client uses and pays for. Client Organizations are part of the CloudCannon Partner Program and give each client their own team, billing, and login. Unlike Guest Access, which shares a single Site with someone who doesn't have a CloudCannon account, a Client Organization is a full, independent Organization. A downloadable image showing your tier in the CloudCannon Partner Program, which you can display on your own website to show your CloudCannon expertise. Expert Badges are available from the Silver tier up, and you can download yours as an SVG file from the Partner Rewards page in your Partner Organization. Each badge reflects your current tier, so the badge you download changes as you earn Partner Points and move up the tiers.Partner Points
Subscription Plan
Client Organization
Expert Badge
Your Partner Organization needs a Subscription Plan of its own, and every Client Organization you create has one as well. The Organization Members you pay for on your Partner Organization can work in every Client Organization you manage at no extra cost, no matter how many clients you have. For more information, please read our documentation on how billing works in the Partner Program.
If you don't host your own Sites on CloudCannon, and you keep each client in their own Client Organization, we recommend the Lite Plan for your Partner Organization. The Lite Plan includes one Seat The unit of paid capacity in your Organization's Subscription Plan. Every Organization Member you invite uses one Seat, as does every person you add through Site Sharing, and each Site with Guest Access enabled uses one Seat however many Guests share its Guest Password. Members of a Partner Organization working inside a Client Organization do not use a Seat. Extra capacity (Organization Members, bandwidth, custom domains, or build time) that extends a plan's included limits. When Overages are enabled, CloudCannon automatically adds capacity as your Organization exceeds its plan's included limits.Seat
Add-On
Your Partner Organization UI#
Joining the Partner Program changes what you see in your own Organization. CloudCannon adds places to manage your clients and track your rewards, and groups the links for your own Sites and settings separately.
Your Organization Home shows the Unsaved changes and Recent activity for Sites in your Partner Organization. To review Health Checks across every Client Organization you manage from one place, use the Health tab. For more information, please read our documentation on what Client Organizations are and managing your Client Organizations.
The Health tab is available through a private Beta.
To request access, please contact our friendly support team. CloudCannon enables the Beta for individual accounts rather than for a whole Organization, so everyone on your team who needs the Health tab must request access separately.
For Partner Organizations, CloudCannon also reorganizes the App Sidebar. Clicking the Clients link opens the Client Organizations Browser and the Rewards link opens the Partner Rewards page, where you track your Partner Points. The Rewards link appears only for members of the Owners Permission Group. Below these, the Your Org heading groups the links for managing your Partner Organization itself. The Org Settings link always appears. The Sites, Projects, and Custom Domains links appear when your Partner Organization already has one of those, or when you have permission to create them, so a Partner Organization that hosts none of its own Sites may show Org Settings on its own.
