- Cloud Users
- Firewalls
- Access Points

Map Accounts and Services

-
Proceed to Service Mapping
- Once accounts are mapped, click "Next" to access the Service Mapping step.
- Align services or products from your PSA, displayed on the left, with the corresponding vendor services or SKUs on the right. For ConnectWise PSA users, search by Product ID.
