Access & Security Feature

The Powerhub Access & Security feature can be used to grant access in the following scenarios:
  • No account is associated with the instance
  • Elevated permissions are associated with the instance

At the time of publication, external access to Powerhub for instances that are connected to accounts (this is the majority case) is automatically granted via Partner Portal for Energy Customers and Tesla For Business for Commercial Charging Customers.

This guide walks through how to use the Access & Security feature in the two cases listed above.

To update a user's role, select the dropdown next to the user's name on the Access & Security page, then select the desired role.
To remove a user, select the trash icon next to the user on the Access & Security page.

User Access When an Account is Associated with the Instance

If an account is attached to the instance and there are elevated permissions associated, users will view details about the account and will be able to managed elevated permissions via the Powerhub Access & Security feature.
If an account is attached to the instance and there are NO elevated permissions associated, users will view details about the account, but will not be able to manage users via the Powerhub Access & Security feature at this time.
