Just getting started as a small MSP with a handful of clients. I have worked with Meraki in the past and love it a customer but this will be my first time as an MSP. I just want to make sure I am setting things up correctly to be able to use the MSP portal and not get stuck with my clients licensed hardware.
Are these the correct steps?
Solved! Go to solution.
@TLS_Nick That looks right to me, you want to invite yourself to manage your customers networks that way licensing is kept simple. The customer should always be in control of their equipment, yes you manage it on their behalf but if they want to end your working relationship they should be able to do so without asking you to hand over passwords.
I would say the easiest method is contact support and open a ticket once your org is setup. They walk you through the setup process so you don't make any mistakes.

@TLS_Nick that's correct, the procedure is pretty well documented here https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Managed_Service_Providers_(MSPs) and the key is that your same email address is an admin in both or multiple orgs, then once logged in your will also get the "Organization" drop-down menu in addition to the "Network" drop-down menu. You can then use the Organization drop-down menu to dive down into any one of the Orgs, as well as to view the MSP Portal itself (the top-most option).
