2 Universal Upsell Management Portal

The Nor1 Universal Upsell Management Portal provides access to supported Nor1 tools and portal options based on your user role, property access, and sign-in method. Depending on your assigned access, you can select a property, open available Nor1 tools, and view support information.

The following sections describe the experience for legacy, federated, and non-federated users.

• Federated IAM User
  
• Non-Federated IAM User
  
• Nor1 Legacy Access Management
  

Federated IAM User

OPERA Cloud Identity Management enables your organization to integrate its identity provider with OPERA Cloud through identity federation. For Nor1, federated access through OPERA Cloud Identity Management is currently available to eligible new hotel implementations. This integration allows users to access OPERA Cloud using their corporate credentials via single sign-on (SSO), eliminating the need to create and manage separate user accounts. The identity federation feature uses the SAML 2.0 standard and supports integration with any identity provider that complies with SAML 2.0 requirements. This approach simplifies access management and enhances security within your organization.

Creating and Managing Users

To provision users for Nor1, follow the Configuration Guidelines in the Federated Customer Documentation based on your identity provider.

Assigning Group Access (Nor1 groups in OCIM)

When creating users who require access to Nor1 applications, you must assign each user to one of the relevant groups listed below. Assign each user to a single Nor1 group based on their job function, and ensure the user is assigned at the property level. Details on the seeded groups can be found at: OPERA Cloud Identity Management Seeded Groups.

Upgrade Manager

• Main responsibilities: Owns Nor1 configuration and performance across the hotel or portfolio. The Upgrade Manager can configure and govern Nor1 across properties, including the CheckIn Merchandising application, eStandby Upgrade awarding, eXpress Upgrade awarding, Rate Management, Smart Award Configuration, and Insights reporting. The user can approve single sign-on access for identity domain properties, oversee user access and segregation of duties.

• Group in OCIM: UPGRADEMANAGER

Upgrade Supervisor

• Main responsibilities: Manage day-to-day upsell operations in the CheckIn Merchandising application, including offer setup, eligibility, and agent guidance. The user can award eStandby upgrades and examine eXpress upgrade offers. They can also review invoice details and monitor results in Insights.

• Group in OCIM: UPGRADESUPERVISOR

Upgrade Agent

• Main responsibilities: Front-desk and operations user who executes upsells with guests using CheckIn Merchandising application to present and apply eligible upsell offers at check-in.

• Group in OCIM: UPGRADEAGENT

Table 2-1 Assigning Group Access

Nor1 Group	CheckIn Merchandising Access	eStandby & eXpress Access	Rate Management Access	Smart Award Configuration Access	Insights Access

Upgrade Agent UPGRADEAGENT	Limited	No	No	No	No

To review the steps to assign a user to a group follow the steps under Groups in OPERA Cloud Identity Management.

To search for existing groups uses should follow Searching for Groups

New users

New users should follow Activate User Account as a New User in the OCIM user guide before accessing the Nor1 Universal Upsell Management Portal.

Logging into Nor1

• Obtain your enterprise ID from your hotel/Nor1 administrator.

• Use the login URL and include your enterprise ID:

  • https://apps.nor1upgrades.com/ui/v1/home?enterprise=XXXX

  • Example: https://apps.nor1upgrades.com/ui/v1/home?enterprise=ABC123

• Bookmark only this login URL. After login you’ll be redirected to a session-specific URL that should not be bookmarked.

• If you see an error, verify the enterprise ID (case sensitivity may apply). Do not share your enterprise ID or credentials.

Tips

• Each user must log in to the Nor1 Upsell Action Center (UAC) at least once. This maps the username and ensures the user’s name appears correctly for Nor1 In-Path and CheckIn Merchandising offers.

• The enterprise ID may be case-sensitive—enter it exactly as provided.

• If you see “Enterprise not found,” double-check the ID with your administrator.

• Do not share your enterprise ID or credentials publicly.

• Clear your browser history and cache before updating new users or using a new URL to access the Nor1 Upsell Action Center (UAC). This practice helps prevent login issues and ensures that you view the most up-to-date information when managing upsell activities.

• Enterprise-, Chain-, and Property-level access is hierarchical:

  • Enterprise-level access grants access to the entire enterprise, which may include multiple chains and properties (depending on configuration).

  • Chain-level access grants access to all properties within the specified chain.

  • Property-level access grants access only to the specified property.

Changing User Account Password, Forgotten Password, Edit Profile

For Federated Users in Nor1 IAM, authentication and account lifecycle functions are managed by an external Identity Provider (IdP) rather than within Oracle/Nor1 systems. As a result, user self-service actions such as password resets, forgotten password recovery, account or profile updates, and related profile management requests must be completed through the user’s IdP and its established support processes. Nor1 IAM relies on the IdP as the system of record for identity attributes and credentials and does not manage federated user passwords or profile recovery workflows.

Managing Oracle Support User Access

OPERA Cloud Identity Management supports Oracle Corporate SSO, allowing Oracle HLGIU users to sign into customer OPERA Cloud environments.Managing Oracle Support User Access explains how customers can grant DATAACCESS and SENSITIVEDATAACCESS roles to Oracle support users.

Granting these roles enables Oracle users to access the customer’s environment, and the decision to grant is solely at the customer’s discretion.

Managing Oracle Support Access Requests

OPERA Cloud Identity Management provides a self-service approval workflow for Oracle Support Users access requests.

Oracle Support Users can request access for support roles, such as DATAACCESS and SENSITIVEDATAACCESS, and respective customer administrators can approve/deny this request based on their discretion. View the details in the Managing Oracle Support Access Requests guide.

Non-Federated IAM User

OPERA Cloud Identity Management (OCIM) is a cloud-native Identity and Access Management (IAM) service for the OPERA Cloud Unified Platform, including Nor1 applications. For Nor1, this IAM access model is intended for new hotels only. Within OPERA Cloud Hospitality, OCIM groups control access to Nor1. Clear role assignments support operational efficiency and data protection. IAM is used to assign user roles for the Nor1 suite of applications, ensuring that each team member has the appropriate level of access and control. This guide outlines these roles and their associated permissions to support OPERA Cloud Hospitality.

Creating and Managing Users

To provision users for Nor1, follow the “Managing Users” section in OPERA Cloud Identity Management (OCIM).
