About OUTSCALE Marketplace

You can access OUTSCALE Marketplace using the following URL: https://marketplace.outscale.com.

An organization is an entity associated to an OUTSCALE account and a Region. Each organization has a first administrator, who creates the organization, and may have secondary administrators.

The type of an organization can be buyer, seller partner, or both. The administrators and users of a same partner seller organization manage the same showcase and products, and the administrators and users of a same buyer organization manage the same product subscriptions.

3DS OUTSCALE can define an organization as belonging to the Nuage public market of the Union des groupements d’achats publics (UGAP). A Nuage public seller partner organization can create OMI products on the basis of a subscription offer, or a yearly per VM type offer with a Nuage public rate. Only Nuage public buyer organizations can subscribe to these offers. For more information, see UGAP’s official website (French only), Creating a Nuage public Offer (UGAP), and About the Subscription Process To a Nuage public Offer (UGAP).

The type of your organization can be buyer, seller partner, or both.

As a buyer, you can browse and filter the product catalog, view seller partner showcases and products, estimate the price of product subscriptions, see seller partner resources, subscribe to products, and view your subscriptions. For more information, see Buyer.

As a seller partner, you can create the showcase of your company to describe your activity, and create and publish products in the product catalog. For more information, see Seller Partner.

Two kinds of accounts can log in to the Marketplace: administrators and users, each having different roles through permissions. A same account can be both administrator and user.

Administrators can manage Marketplace accounts, that is create and delete them, and modify their information and roles. For more information, see Managing Marketplace Accounts as a Seller Partner and Managing Marketplace Accounts as a Buyer.

Administrators can also add OUTSCALE accounts to the organization to automatically share the permissions to the OMIs the organization subscribes to with these accounts. For more information, see Managing OUTSCALE Accounts as a Seller Partner and Managing OUTSCALE Accounts as a Buyer.

By default, the first administrator of an organization has both an administrator role and a user role, while secondary administrators only have an administrator role.

Users can perform all the actions allowed by the type or types of their organizations on the Marketplace, except managing users. For more information, see Buyer User or Seller Partner User.

You can create an organization as first administrator via the login page of the Marketplace. An email is then sent to the email address of your OUTSCALE account to define the password for your Marketplace administrator account. Once your password is defined, you can log in to the Marketplace from the login page. Your organization must be validated for you to be able to fully use the Marketplace. For more information, see Creating an Organization as a Buyer and Creating an Organization as a Seller Partner.

As a user or secondary administrator, you can log in to the Marketplace once your first administrator has created your account on the Marketplace and you have defined a password for your account via the received email.

As a logged-in administrator or user, you can modify your password at any time in the authentication parameters available from the menu in the top right corner of the interface.

As an administrator or a user, you can reset your password at any time by clicking the Forgot your password? button on the Marketplace login page. An email is then sent to you with a link to reset your password.
