The Representative Model
You are one person doing work for many real-estate owners. SDX models that directly: you sign up once as a representative, and each client org invites you in. You never need a separate login per client.
How it works
- You sign up as a representative. When you create your SDX account, choose the representative account type. You don't create an organization of your own — your account is bound to you, not to a client.
- A client org invites you by email. An admin in the client's organization adds your email and picks an access level. You receive the invitation and accept it.
- The client appears in your account. Once accepted, that organization shows up in your account as one of your "available orgs." You can switch into it from inside the app.
- Repeat for each client. A new client engagement is a new invitation, not a new login.
What this means in practice
- One email address, one password, one MFA setup — across every client.
- When you switch into a client org, the entire app re-scopes: their properties, their meters, their settings, their reports. Not yours.
- When you switch out (to Consultant Overview), you see a consolidated view of every client you have access to.
- Each client controls their own access level for you independently. Read-only on one engagement, full management on another, no conflict.
Required: register as a representative first
A client cannot invite you until you've created a representative account. The invitation step looks up your email; if no representative account exists for that email, the invite is rejected. Tell new clients to wait until you've signed up before they try to invite you.
Switching to representative from a non-representative account
If you originally created an SDX account with the wrong account type (e.g. owner), the simplest fix is to register a fresh representative account on a clean email and have your clients re-invite you. We don't currently migrate accounts in place.
