Support Access to WatchGuard Cloud Accounts
You can enable WatchGuard Support to connect to your WatchGuard Cloud account to help you troubleshoot issues. The permissions given to Support depend on the access role you select when you enable support access:
- Auditor or Observer roles — Support has read-only permission to the account. These are the default roles.
- Owner or Administrator roles — Support has full permissions to configure services and devices. Support can view license and inventory allocation.
For Service Providers, when you enable access to Support (Auditor or Owner roles), they have access to your account and any accounts you manage. When you enable Support access to a Service Provider account as an Owner, Support will have the Auditor role for any delegated Subscriber accounts.
For more information on account types and roles, go to About WatchGuard Cloud Account Types and Manage WatchGuard Cloud Operators and Roles.
When you enable support access, alerts and audit logs show the name of the user who opted in. Alerts and audit logs will show Support Delegation for any changes that are made to the account.
