Custom Customer and Client Portals

Overview

Summary

Custom Customer and Client Portals: Understand the risks, technical decisions, and practical next steps.

Customers need secure self-service access to their accounts, requests, invoices, or shared documents.

Identify external and internal user roles, tenant boundaries, and the records each role may access. Test every sensitive operation on the server rather than hiding buttons in the user interface.

Warning Signs

  • Customers need secure self-service access to their accounts, requests, invoices, or shared documents.
  • Define identity, account boundaries, invitation and recovery flows, record visibility, notifications, and integrations.
  • Treating a portal as a set of screens while overlooking authorization across different customers.
  • The team cannot demonstrate that the required custom customer and client portals workflow is correct, reliable, and maintainable.
