Webex Contact Center provisioning through Partner Hub
Verified 2026-10-02 · 59 sources · tier 2
Also known as wxcc-partner-hub.
Partners reach Partner Hub at https://admin.webex.com, where they manage all their customers after placing orders in Cisco Commerce Workspace 13. Partners can also start a Webex Contact Center trial for a customer from Partner Hub as a self-service flow without manual Cisco approval 54.
Partner roles and customer access
Starting a customer trial in Partner Hub requires a partner user with the sales administrator or sales full administrator role 56. The partner administrator roles in Partner Hub include Partner Full Administrator, Partner Administrator, and Partner Read-Only Administrator, each with a different scope 30 29 31.
| Partner role | Scope |
|---|---|
| Partner Full Administrator | Manages settings for all customers the partner manages, assigns admin roles, and designates which customers other partner administrators manage 30 |
| Partner Administrator | Manages settings only for customers they provisioned themselves or that have been assigned to them 29 |
| Partner Read-Only Administrator | Views settings for all customers the partner manages but cannot edit them 31 |
A partner full administrator assigns customers to a partner administrator by selecting that administrator and entering the customer organization name or ID under Managing Customer Organizations 28. Partner administrators who reach a customer only through a Partner Hub customer group get Webex Suite access but no Webex Contact Center access unless they are also directly assigned to that customer 10.
The Partner Hub customer list shows these statuses: Trial, Subscription, Expiring soon, License overage, No recent activity, Ready for order setup, Suspended and Expired 11. A partner opens a customer's Control Hub with the Launch organization icon at the end of the customer's row 12. Launching a customer's Control Hub implicitly grants the partner administrator the provisioning administrator role 26. A provisioning administrator can provision orders, view licenses and upgrades, manage Webex sites and locations, and troubleshoot, but only for the services the partner sold to that customer 27.
A customer administrator can ask to change a partner organization's access level, either full administrator or provisioning administrator, in Control Hub under Users then Partner administrators 2. The partner then approves or denies the request 2.
Self-service trials
Cisco rolled out the Webex Contact Center self-service trial experience to partners in phases 40. Partners without access are told to ask their Cisco Contact Center sales representative for it 40. WarmTransfer's reading of the sources is that Contact Center trials use the separate self-service trial flow, not the generic Partner Hub Start Trial wizard for Webex Suite services 42.
Eligibility and edition
Self-service trials can be provisioned only on Flex 3.0 50. A trial cannot be downgraded from Flex 3.0 to Flex 2.0 52. A trial can be provisioned to a new or existing organization only if that organization has no active contact center trial or subscription 47.
Duration and extension
A self-service trial can run for 30, 60 or 90 days 51. To extend a trial, the partner selects additional days for it in Partner Hub and saves the change 49.
What a trial includes
During a self-service trial, Webex Calling is the only voice option that can be provisioned 59. Voice POPs are not available in a trial, and the trial must be reprovisioned as Webex Calling instead 53. A trial includes Cisco Calling Plan in some countries, but Cisco states that this is not officially supported for the trial 41.
A self-service trial includes 150 US dollars of utilization cost for the SMS and WhatsApp channels 55. Obtaining US 10-digit long code numbers for SMS and WhatsApp in a trial takes between 5 and 10 weeks 58.
A self-service trial does not include Webex Workforce Optimization, extra storage, additional IVR ports or campaign management 48.
Reprovisioning and support
To reprovision a trial, for example to add Google CCAI, the partner goes to Partner Hub and opens the customer 43. From there the partner opens Trials, then Manage trial, then Complete Order Setup, and clicks Provision 43. The Webex Calling Partner Help Desk, which also handles Webex Contact Center inquiries, is the only support channel for Webex Contact Center trials 57.
Converting a trial to paid
A trial is converted to paid by submitting an order in Cisco Commerce Workspace, which adds the paid subscription to the customer's existing organization 46. The partner completes the A2Q after submitting the order 44. Any Cisco Calling Plan phone numbers used in the trial must be deleted and replaced with a supported alternative 45. When the subscription is mapped to an existing trial tenant, the partner must enter the same customer administrator email that was used when the trial was created 24.
Paid orders
A partner places a Webex Contact Center order for a customer using the A-CJP or A-FLEX-CC SKU 23. The order in Cisco Commerce Workspace must carry a Requested Start Date and a Provisioning Contact Email 15. Cisco recommends using the partner's Control Hub administrator or sales administrator account as the Provisioning Contact Email 20. The Webex Contact Center documentation index points partners to the Cisco Webex Contact Center Ordering Guide and the Flex Plan Contact Center Ordering Guide for ordering 4. For tenant provisioning, the same index points to the order and get-started articles 4.
Order Set-Up wizard
On the Requested Start Date, Cisco emails the provisioning contact a Set Up Now link that opens the Order Set-Up wizard for the tenant 22. A partner who is doing the setup chooses I am a Partner to indicate their role 25. If the partner selects The customer will set up instead, the partner will not have access to manage the customer organization 17.
For a new Webex organization, the partner confirms the customer details 19. When the order maps to an existing organization, the partner verifies that the displayed organization is the intended one 19.
The country chosen in the wizard must be one where Webex Contact Center sales are authorized under the geographic terms of the Flex Plan Contact Center offer description 16. The Webex Contact Center country of operation defaults to the organization country selected earlier and can be changed in the wizard if needed 14. For Webex orders set up through the Order Set-Up wizard, clicking Provision activates the subscription and starts billing 21. Cisco recommends that partners complete the customer organization setup before they hand contact-center-specific administration to customer administrators 18.
Services setup wizard
The services setup wizard has four stages: Summary, Calling setup, Contact Center setup, and Review 38. Partner administrators reach services setup through one entry point for a trial and another for a paid subscription 37 36.
- For a trial, a partner administrator answers Yes to Do you want to set up the services for the customer at the end of the Start New Trial wizard 37.
- For a paid subscription, a partner administrator maps the order and then clicks Next 36.
A customer administrator of a newly provisioned organization receives a Welcome email with a Get Started link, then sets a password and accepts the Terms of Service to reach Control Hub 34.
Webex Contact Center creates the tenant in the data center that corresponds to the country of operation chosen at setup 35. The country of operation cannot be changed after it is confirmed in the services setup wizard 33. We infer that the country of operation, and therefore the tenant's data center, can be adjusted only inside the setup wizard before confirmation, and that the partner cannot correct a wrong choice after confirmation 1. The telephony section of the setup wizard shows connectivity through Common Edge, the edge infrastructure shared by Webex Calling and Webex Contact Center 32.
Flex 3.0 Contact Center licensing points
Cisco Collaboration Flex 3.0 Contact Center offers 2 buying models 8:
- Concurrent Agent is based on the maximum number of contact center users logged in at the same time 8.
- Named Agent is based on each unique user who logs in during a month 8.
The Named Agent buying model applies only to Webex Contact Center 7. An Assessment-to-Quality (A2Q) must be completed before initial access to the products and again for design changes during the term 5. Supervisors and administrators always require a Premium Agent license 9. For cloud Flex 3.0 Contact Center deployments, agent overage is calculated monthly when the agents used exceed the purchased committed agents 6.
Diagnosing missing customers or access
If partner administrators cannot see a customer in their list, Cisco's first check is that the customer's full administrator received the Webex welcome email and signed in for the first time 3. Cisco's second check is that the partner has activated the provisioned service 3. If both checks pass, the partner opens a ticket in Customer Service Central 3.
If a partner administrator can see a customer but has no Webex Contact Center access, check whether they reach that customer only through a customer group without a direct assignment 10. If the partner cannot manage the customer organization at all, check whether The customer will set up was selected in the Order Set-Up wizard 17.
