Verifying an Organization

You are required to verify your Organization before you can designate your Support Contacts.

You'll be prompted to verify your organization when you first create it. If you did not verify your organization at that time, you can follow the steps below.

    2. In Lifecycle: Open the System Preference cogwheel dropdown menu and select Product License

    3. In Nexus Repository: Open the Administration cogwheel and in the left menu and navigate to System → Licensing

  5. Select Verify License

Adding Members to an Organization

Once you have an organization, you can add members to it. When you verify your organization, we will try to integrate any existing members from our support case management system into the organization you just created. However, you can also manually invite members into your organization.

  1. After signing in, click on the profile icon profile_icon_loggedin.png  at the top-right. Select Organizations from the dropdown menu to open the page.

  2. Click Open next to the organization to which you want to add members

  3. Under the Members section, click the Invite Members button

  4. Add the email addresses of the members you want to invite

  5. Click Send Invitations 

This will email instructions for signing up for my.sonatype.com. Once that person creates an account with the specified email address, they'll automatically be added to your Organization.

Assigning Support Contacts

Authorized support contacts are the people in your organization whom you assign to serve as the liaisons between your company and the Sonatype support team. They are chosen from the pool of existing members in your organization.

  • The number of members allowed to be support contacts is determined by the customer contract

  • Being a member of an Organization does not automatically make them a support contact

  • Only verified Organizations can have support contacts

  • Individuals who have been invited to an Organization but haven't accepted the invite email cannot be designated a support contact
