Setting up a New Client for Portal Access

To provide your insureds access to your Self-Service Portal, you can set up their login and password and select their default starting page and features. If your organization uses Applied MobileInsured, you can also choose the screen that displays when the insured uses the application.

Insureds can also click Create an account on the Self-Service Portal login screen to set up a Portal account by themselves. If this feature is not available for your insureds, please contact your CSR24 system administrator.

You can also provide insureds Self-Service Portal access from Applied Epic using a CSR24 SSO link.
