How to Get Access
A Vendor Identity account is needed to gain access to the Partner Portal and other Best Buy managed applications such as Ship It Right (SIR) and Product Data Management (PDM). Users are invited by your company's Vendor Security Admin (VSA). VSAs are determined during the vendor setup process.
A Username linked to your email will be received once invited and registered. You will automatically have access to log in to the Partner Portal. See the section Users: Accounts and Access for access to additional applications.
Vendor Security Admin (VSA) Roles & Responsibilities
A Vendor Security Administrator (VSA) is the primary point of contact for Best Buy. They are also the gatekeeper for both your company information and access to Best Buy applications. It is recommended that each organization have a minimum of two VSAs.
VSAs are responsible for:
- Inviting other VSAs/Users within their organization(s)
- Managing access to applications and actions within those applications
- Completing a semi-annual user audit
- Maintaining company information, including legal company name changes, correspondence and product return addresses
- Sharing communications received from Best Buy to the appropriate contacts within their organization
Find Your VSA
To find your company's Vendor Security Admin(s), or VSA(s):
- Log in to Vendor Identity.
- Expand the "hamburger" menu in the top left corner.
- Select Manage Identity.
- Click List of VSAs.
If you cannot access Vendor Identity or find your VSA, contact Partner Support.
