Siebel Partner Relationship Management Administration Guide > Working with New Partners > Process of Enrolling a New Partner Company > Assigning Master Data to the Partner CompanyThis task is a step in Process of Enrolling a New Partner Company. Siebel Business Applications include two different types of data, which you work with in different ways:
The next step in adding a new partner company is to assign it the appropriate master data. To assign most master data to partners, you use access groups. Before you can assign master data in this way, your channel operations manager must set up the appropriate access groups and categories of master data, as described in Setting Up Siebel PRM. Then, any partner company that you add to the access group has access to the master data visible to that access group. Price lists are the only type of master data that is not assigned using access groups, because price lists are usually assigned to smaller groups of partner companies than other forms of master data. For example, you might assign master data to an access group called resellers, but you might have a different price list for each reseller, or you might have a standard price list for most resellers but special price lists for five of your resellers. Assigning price lists to access groups would limit the utility of the access groups, because price lists often do not follow the same rules as other master data. You might also want to assign some types of transactional data, such as customer accounts and contacts, to the new partner company. You assign other types of transactional data, such as opportunities and service requests, to the partner company after you start working with it. Most often, the type of access groups that partners are assigned to Partner Communities, but they can be assigned to access groups of any type. For information about assigning transactional data to partner companies, see Sharing Data with Partners. To add a partner company to an access group
