With a single account per user, SalesTrekker has a single source of truth for
user data.
Admins only need to create and manage one account per person,
even if that user has multiple identities and roles within the system. This greatly
simplifies user administration tasks like onboarding, permission changes, and
offboarding.
From the user perspective, having a single account simplifies their
interactions with SalesTrekker. They only need to remember one set of
credentials and they have a single profile view where they can manage all their
identity and role information. Switching between identities is seamless from
their primary account.
Each SalesTrekker user account can have multiple identities, which represent
that user in different contexts within the organisational structure. This allows a
single person to perform different roles in one or more organisations.
Key facts about identities:
An account must have at least one identity
The primary identity inherits the email of the user account
Additional identities must have a unique email
An identity can be a member of multiple organizations
Common Identity Scenarios
Scenario 1: One account with one identity (most typical)
This is the simplest and most common scenario, where a user has a single
SalesTrekker account and a single associated identity. This is typical for users
who perform a single role within a single organisation.
Example 1a: Broker in a single organisation
Sarah Johnson works as a broker for ABC Realty, a real estate brokerage that
uses SalesTrekker. When Sarah joins ABC Realty, the admin creates a single
SalesTrekker account for her with the email sarah.johnson@abcrealty.com.au,
which in turn creates a default (single) identity for Sarah within ABC Realty's
organization in SalesTrekker, and assigns her the "Broker" role. With this setup,
Sarah logs into SalesTrekker with her single account and is automatically placed
in her Broker identity context. She can access all the leads, contacts, and deals
associated with her Broker role in ABC Realty. She does not have any other
identities or access to any other organisations within SalesTrekker.
Example 1b: Back office staff in a single organisation
Mike Williams works in an administrative role for XYZ Realty, a real estate
brokerage. When Mike is added to SalesTrekker, the admin creates a single
account for him with the email mike.williams@xyzrealty.com.au, along with a
single identity. Mike is assigned the role of “Support Staff“ within the XYZ
Realty organisation in SalesTrekker. Similar to Sarah in the previous example,
Mike has just one SalesTrekker account and one identity. When he logs in, he
lands in his Support Staff context and can perform his administrative duties
within the XYZ Realty org. He does not have access to any other parts of
SalesTrekker.
These examples illustrate the simplicity of the one account, one identity model
for users who have a single, clearly defined role within one organisation. This
straightforward setup covers the majority of SalesTrekker users.
Scenario 2: One account with two identities
In this scenario, a user has a single SalesTrekker account but two distinct
identities, typically representing different roles across two organisations. This
is common for users who wear multiple hats or work with partner organisations.
Example 2: Broker in one organisation and partner in a different organisation
Emily Davis works primarily as a broker for Main Street Realty, but she also has
a partnership with a mortgage lender, Acme Lending. The SalesTrekker admin
at Main Street Realty creates an account for Emily with the email
emily.davis@mainstreetrealty.com.au and sets up her primary identity as a
Broker within the Main Street Realty organisation. To represent Emily's
partnership with Acme Lending, the admin creates a second identity for Emily's
account. This identity has a different email address,
emily.davis@acmelending.com.au, and is assigned the role of "Partner" within
the Acme Lending organisation in SalesTrekker.
When Emily logs into SalesTrekker, she lands in her primary Broker identity
context by default. Here, she can manage her deals, contacts, and tasks related
to her work at Main Street Realty. However, Emily can also switch to her Partner
identity. In this context, she has access to referrals that she shares with Acme
Lending, and can collaborate with loan officers on mutual clients. Data between
her two identities remains separate and contextual. This two-identity setup is
perfect for users like Emily who have distinct roles with different organisations
but still want the simplicity of managing everything from a single SalesTrekker
account.
Scenario 3: One account with three or more identities
In some cases, a user may have three or more identities associated with their
single SalesTrekker account. While less common than the one- or two-identity
scenarios, this can occur for users with complex, multi-faceted roles across
several organisations.
Example 3: Broker in one organisation, mentor in another, partner in a third
David Thompson is a highly experienced real estate professional who wears
many hats. His primary role is as a broker with Sunrise Real Estate, but he also
serves as a mentor for a national real estate training organisation called
RealCoach. Additionally, David has a referral partnership with a home warranty
company, HomePro Warranties.
As with the previous examples, David logs into SalesTrekker with his single
account credentials. By default, he lands in his primary Broker identity, where
he can manage his day-to-day real estate business at Sunrise Real Estate.
When David needs to switch to his Mentor role at RealCoach, he can do so from
his settings. In this context, he has access to the deals that require his
mentorship duties. Similarly, David can switch to his Partner identity to manage
the leads and referrals with HomePro Warranties.
This multi-identity scenario showcases the flexibility of SalesTrekker's account
and identity model. Even users with complex, multi-organisation responsibilities
can manage all their roles efficiently from a single account, while still
maintaining clear separation and contextualisation of data and permissions
between their various identities.
These examples illustrate how SalesTrekker's account and identity architecture
can accommodate a wide range of user roles and organisational structures
while maintaining a simple, unified user experience. Whether a user has one
straightforward role or a complex web of responsibilities, SalesTrekker makes it
easy to manage their access and context.
