The VMware Carbon Black Support team may not be able to access your Organization on the VMware Cloud Services Console and VMware Carbon Black Cloud by default. This section covers how to grant the Carbon Black Support team access to your organization, and is a requirement prior to contacting support.

This procedure will grant Carbon Black Support access to your organization on the VMware Cloud Services console with the appropriate roles required to assist with your support case. These are the “View All” and “Support Feature” service roles.

Prerequisites

  • A user with the “Organization Owner” role for the organization and the “Super Admin” service role within the VMware Carbon Black Cloud service is required to conduct this flow.
  • To prevent delays, complete the following process prior to filing your support case.

    • CBC support can access your org to troubleshoot technical issues for up to 30 days

      This is the recommended access setting when filing a support case. If your support case proceeds beyond the 30 day window, you will have to conduct this flow again to grant access.
