MyTravelport supports three developer user roles:
-
Sandbox developers are created when a user clicks the Request trial credentials for Sandbox button from developer.travelport.com. Sandbox developer users have access to news, online help search, and knowledge base search. The product page for their trial indicates the number of trial days left. From this page, users can schedule an introductory call.
-
Developer users can create support requests and can search both the knowledge base and online help. From the Product page, developer users can also indicate that they are ready for certification and request additional WABs.

Developer administrators have the functionality of a developer user. They can also manage users and grant access to external users.
