Installer Portal overview

The Gallagher SMB Installer Portal is where Technicians configure SMB customer sites. This section gives an overview of the portal, before you use it to configure sites in the 'Configuration' section of this Help. There is a hierarchy in the Installer Portal, based on who you are and what information you have privileges to access.

NOTE: You can not be logged into the Gallagher SMB Installer Portal and the Gallagher Security Hub at the same time - you will be logged out.

Organizations – top level of the hierarchy.

An organization can have an unlimited number of branches underneath it and can see everything - sites and technicians – associated with each branch.

  • Organizations can create, edit & delete their own branches.

  • Billing occurs at an organization level.

  • Sites are configured and managed at a branch level.

  • All organizations will automatically have one branch created.

  • Users are added at an organization or branch level.

  • One role at an organization level – Organization Manager.

New Zealand & Australia: All distributors are seen as an organization in the Installer Portal.

USA: All SMB Partners are seen as an organization in the Installer Portal.

Branches – second level of the hierarchy.

Branches sit underneath an Organization.

  • Branch users of a single branch will not see the Branches tab.

  • Billing occurs at an organization level not at a branch level.

  • Users can have access to more than one branch.

  • Sites are configured and managed at a branch level.

  • Users are added at a branch level.

  • Two roles at a branch level – Install Manager & Install Technician

New Zealand & Australia: Security Integrators are branches under an organization.

USA: Partners can create branches if they choose to in the Installer Portal.

For example: ABC Security – New York, ABC Security – Knoxville could be branches under ABC Security organization.

BRANCHES tab

The BRANCHES tab is only viewable when logged in as an Organization Manager.

It lists all of the branches that you as an Organization Manager have access to. If you manage multiple organizations, select an organization from the drop-down list in the top right-hand corner of the screen to view its branches.

From this tab, you can also create a new branch of an organization. Expand the below procedure for details about adding a new branch.

Add a new branch

  2. In the BRANCHES tab, click the + ADD NEW BRANCH button.

  4. Optionally enter the Account Number.

    The new branch is added to the organization.


SITES tab

The SITES tab lists all of the sites that you as a technician have access to. Organization Managers can select an Organization from the drop-down list in the top right-hand corner of the screen to view all sites in that organization, grouped by branch. If a technician has access to multiple branches, it can select a Branch from the drop-down list to view all sites in that branch.

The Sites table shows Installer Branch, Site Name , Key Account Holder, Contact, Site Address, Status of site and date site was activated. View can be changed by selecting and deselecting columns.

To view an existing site, click on its name in the list, or search its name in the search bar and then select it. From this tab, you can also create a new site. This is covered in the topic Create a Site or Demo Site.


TECHNICIANS tab

The TECHNICIANS tab is only viewable when logged in as an Organization Manager or Install Manager. It lists all the technicians within your organization.

There are three roles - Organization Manager, Install Manager or Install Technician.

  • Organization Mangers can create, view, update and delete branches on the BRANCHES tab, create, view, update, delete, and resend invites to all the technicians on the TECHNICIANS tab, and change a site's Key Account Holder and general configuration.

  • Install Managers can create, view, update, delete, and resend invites to all the technicians on the TECHNICIANS tab, and change a site's Key Account Holder and general configuration.

  • Install Technicians cannot access the TECHNICIANS tab or change a site's Key Account Holder, but can perform standard configuration for sites.

On the TECHNICIANS tab, as an Organization or Install Manager, you will see your own technician account listed. You can edit and resend the invite to your own account, but you can never delete your own account or change your own Role. These actions must be performed by another Install Manager.

Add a new technician
