Grant Objects

Station owners might want to provide other organizations access to their stations to. For instance, tenants in a building that they own, the employees of a different business unit within the parent company, or a fleet of vehicles belonging to a different business will need access the respective stations.

ChargePoint Platform enables object-granting as a way to simplify and streamline the process of setting up station access in third-party situations. In this context, an object is a driver group or a fleet—or even a video ad.

To access the Grant Objects tab, log in to ChargePoint Platform and navigate to Organizations > Grant Objects.

Examples:

Refer to the examples below to understand the process of granting objects in the following scenarios:

• Tenant: CRE Tenant’s Employees get discounted charging while the property owner retains ownership of the stations. Tenants manage their own employee connections.

• Fleet: Springfield Motor Pool allows fleet and station owners to negotiate special pricing for the fleet while retaining the management of the fleet and stations to their respective owners.

Before You Begin

The granting organization will need one of the following information from the station owner:

• ChargePoint Organization ID

  You can obtain the organization ID from the station owner’s network manager or ChargePoint Platform administrator.

• ChargePoint Organization Name

  Only applicable if the organization you are granting objects to has already granted rights to you first.

You cannot grant objects to a company if it is not already set up as an organization in the ChargePoint Platform.

The granting organization will need the name of the driver group(s), fleet(s), and/or video ad(s) that are to be granted.
