Incident Portal FAQ

  1. Question: As a portal user, can I invite new members to join the incident portal?
    Answer: Portal users cannot invite external users to join the incident portal. However, portal users can share the URL of the incident portal with a NetBrain user. Then the NetBrain user can login the incident portal.
  2. Question: If I post messages in the incident portal, can incident members in Smart CLI see the messages?
    Answer: Portal users can send messages, modify notes and set the incident status to open/closed in the incident portal. The messages will be synchronized in real-time with other incident members in Smart CLI.
