# Configuration Tasks

Channel partners and customer IT teams are essential in the initial AccessNow setup and ongoing support. 

## Customer Input 

### Customer Assets Required 

* [Branding](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/new-customer-account/account-branding.md) package (logos, selected leading colour)
* Choosing a [custom URL](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/new-customer-account/account-branding.md#service-url) if used 

### Customer IT Team's Tasks 

* [SSO Setup](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/new-customer-account/single-sign-on-configuration.md)\
  Although channel partners can provide support with Single Sign-On (SSO), most of the setup should be managed by the customer's internal IT teams.
* [Setting Up a Custom URL](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/new-customer-account/account-branding.md#process-for-whitelabel-requests)

  To host AccessNow with a custom URL, the IT team must generate the new domain and provide the necessary record details.
* [Whitelist AccessNow Email Notification Address](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/help-resources/whitelisting-accessnow-email-notifications-email-address.md) **(Optional)**

  Adding AccessNow email or domain to the company's allowlist or safe-senders list ensures delivery without triggering warnings or spam alerts.

## Channel Partner Input   

The Channel Partner manages AccessNow onboarding and facilitates communication between Gallagher Security and the end-user customer.

* [Filling in the onboarding form ](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/new-customer-account/new-account-request.md)\
  It's a  is a first step in starting your journey with us. It gathers key information like contact info, and set up preferences to help us streamline AccessNow implementation.
* [Command Centre integration](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/system-administration/command-centre-integration.md)\
  Partners must configure a REST Client in Command Centre and assign an operator with the necessary privileges for AccessNow (e.g., creating events, editing cardholder data, modifying access control).
* [User Roles and Groups setup for system management](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/system-administration/system-administration-groups/roles-and-privileges.md)

  The system includes predefined roles that serve as a starting point. These roles should be reviewed and customized to align with customer requirements.
* **Workflow Configuration**, including:
  * [Mapping customer workflows](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/workflow-creation/workflow-mapping.md)

    Channel partners should collaborate with customers and gallagher to identify and document which processes to automate and to define their flow.
  * [Importing Drop-Down Lists for Workflows](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/workflow-creation/creating-and-managing-workflows/workflow-configuration/lists.md)\
    This section covers importing any drop-down lists for workflows, including Access Groups list.
  * [Creating Approver Groups](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/workflow-creation/creating-and-managing-workflows/workflow-configuration/approver-groups.md)\
    When approval is required as part of a workflow, Channel Partner should help customer identify the approvers for each access group or approval task and establish these groups in AccessNow.
  * [Approver & Access Groups Review and Mapping](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/workflow-creation/creating-and-managing-workflows/workflow-configuration/lists/command-centre-access-group-list/assigning-approvers-to-access-groups.md)\
    Identify and align the required Access Groups with their appropriate approver groups. Additionally, any Access Groups not to be available in AccessNow should be hidden.
  * [Workflow Template Customization](/command-centre/accessnow-user-guide/workflow-creation/creating-and-managing-workflows/working-with-workflow-templates.md)\
    Supply Gallagher with the requested FT Item IDs from the customer's Command Centre, along with any relevant information concerning workflow configuration.
