FAQs
1: What happens when I transition from a single entity to multiple entities on the Trust Portal?
All previously approved users automatically gain access to all newly enabled entities.
Your Trust Portal now displays an entity dropdown with all enabled entities. Content is organized by entity, with content tagged to organization-wide appearing on all entities.
2: What happens when I disable a previously enabled entity?
Users with access to the disabled entity lose access to its content. However, they retain access to other enabled entities to which they were granted access.
Only the remaining enabled entities display in the dropdown.
3: What happens if I disable all entities?
Access for users with entity-specific access is revoked, and they are automatically logged out of the Trust Portal.
Users with organization-wide access are retained and can continue accessing the portal.
The portal reverts to single-entity mode, displaying all content without an entity dropdown.
4: Share a few best practices for using the multi-entity feature in Trust Portal.
Plan Your Entity Structure: Clearly define which business units or product lines will have separate Trust Portal content before enabling Multi-Entity mode.
Use Organization-wide Content Strategically: Tag content as Organization-wide if it applies to your entire organization. This content will automatically appear alongside entity-specific information.
Preview Before Publishing: Use the View Trust Portal button to preview and verify how each entity's view will appear to visitors, especially after tagging new content.
Monitor Entity Changes: When disabling or deleting entities, review the Access tab to identify affected users and ensure uninterrupted access for critical stakeholders.
Clear Communication: Inform stakeholders which entities they should expect to see in the portal dropdown and how to navigate between entity-specific views.
5: Why is the content I tagged to an entity not appearing in the Trust Portal?
Here are a few possible causes why this might happen:
The entity isn't enabled in Trust Vault settings
The entity has been deleted from the main settings
The content is tagged incorrectly
Solution: Verify that the entity is enabled in the Trust Vault settings and that the content is correctly tagged to that entity.
6: A user is seeing a 404 error for an entity they should have access to.
Here are a few reasons why this might happen:
The entity was disabled in the Trust Vault settings after the user was granted access.
The user’s access to that specific entity has been revoked.
Solution: Re-enable the entity in Trust Vault settings or grant the user access to an alternative entity. Either way, the visitor still sees your Trust Portal's branded 404 page rather than a generic error, so they can navigate back to a valid section of your portal while you resolve the access issue.
7: Can I switch from multi-entity back to single-entity mode?
Yes. Go to Trust Vault settings and toggle Multi-Entity to Off. The Trust Portal will display all content together without a dropdown.
8: When adding a user manually, if I select “Organization-wide,” will the user get access to all entities?
Yes. They get access to all entities enabled in the Trust Portal.
9: Does the audit log capture entity-specific action?
Yes. The audit log displays all activities across all entities.
