Partner connections allow you to share device control with trusted users. Once connected, partners can view and control your devices based on the permissions you’ve granted.

​
Accessing partner settings

Navigate to Settings → Partners in your dashboard to view all your active connections and manage partner relationships.

​
Managing existing connections

From the Partners page, you can:
  • View all active partner connections
  • See each partner’s username and connection status
  • Remove a partner by selecting Manage on their connection

​
Creating new partner invitations

1

Open the Partners page

Navigate to Settings → Partners in your dashboard.
2

Create a new invitation

Select the option to create a new invitation at the bottom of the page.
3

Enter partner details

You can invite a partner in two ways:
  • Search by username — Enter the username of someone already on the platform
  • Invite by email — Enter the exact email address of the person you want to invite
Email search requires an exact match. Partial email addresses will not work. If the person isn’t already registered, they’ll receive an invitation to join the platform.

​
Understanding partner roles

The platform uses a device owner and controller model:
  • Device owner — Registers devices on their account and grants access to partners
  • Controller — Receives permission to view and control the device owner’s devices
Controllers can switch to view a device owner’s account at any time by selecting the account name in the top-left corner of the dashboard. This allows them to access and control shared devices.
0:00 Hey there, welcome to the dashboard. If you’re here, you finished the onboarding flow, and perhaps you connected to a partner. There’s a chance you didn’t though, so I want to make sure that you know how to connect with a partner even if you didn’t do it during the onboarding stage.0:14 I’ll be showing you on desktop, but the flow is the same on mobile. Inside of the navigation, underneath settings, I’ll click on partners. Here, I’ll see all my actions. In this case, Delirious Leather is the individual that I invited and had join to be my top during the previous video.0:35 I can manage this connection, removing them as my partner, or on the bottom, I can create a new invitation. Don’t forget, inside of this search, I can enter the username of anybody on the dashboard, or I can specify an exact email. That exact email will either invite a new person to join the dashboard and be my partner, or, if they are already on the platform, it will find their username.0:59 We don’t search by partial email, it must be exact, so make sure you get everything correct. This is the account that is the bottom, in this case, so the intended use is that this bottom will register devices, and then other tops can control them. Again, that phrasing doesn’t align with how we’ve designed the platform, but it will help you understand who should have the devices on their account.1:23 I want to show you the same account from the top’s perspective. So I’m going to move over to Delirious Leather’s account. Just right here, you’ll see I’m in Delirious Leather. If I go to settings, partners, I see the other user, Thematic Voyeur, with the indication you can control and modify this user’s devices.1:44 Again, I can create new invitations to have different kind of relationships with different people. But, importantly, in the top left, this user can choose to view Thematic Voyeur’s account at any point, effectively taking control of their devices. That’s what this setting means. I’ll talk about that more in a future video.
