A Partner is the stable identity of a business, operating company, or brand participating in DVM. Most businesses need only one Partner. Use a Partner hierarchy only where there is a real business structure that needs to be represented separately.

​
Simple Partner structure

A business can operate in DVM with a single Partner:
The Partner holds its roles, users, and Regional Entities.

​
Partner hierarchy

A Partner can have child Partners where the business operates through distinct brands or operating companies.
Each child is still a Partner with its own identity in DVM.

​
What is not a child Partner

Do not create child Partners simply to represent technical differences. The following belong to Regional Entities rather than Partner hierarchy:
  • Environments, such as Sandbox or Production
  • Technical endpoints
  • Route-specific configuration
  • Regions, such as EU or US, where the region does not represent a specific different brand, technical setup, will have different compliance needs or will form different partnerships.
For a brand setup in different countries (rather than Region), this is a typical use of Partner.For example, 3 Bank entities across different countries could be best as 3 Partners.Please contact Bango if you are unsure of the Partner setup that best suits your needs.
For example:
These are Regional Entities belonging to the same Partner, not child Partners.
