### Support user access
79+
80+
Port's support team may require access to your organization to provide technical assistance. This access is controlled through support user permissions and includes several security measures:
81+
82+
- Support user actions are not logged in your audit log.
83+
- You can set the access duration or disable support access completely.
84+
- Emergency access requires dual approval (organization + Port).
85+

## Support user permissions
56+
57+
Port's support team may need access to your organization to provide technical assistance. You can control this access through support user permissions.

### Access duration
60+
61+
Port support user access is enabled by default, you can choose to provide different access to your organization: **1 week**, **1 month**, **1 year**, **Permanent access (default)**.
62+
63+
### Support user capabilities
64+
65+
Support users can be created with the following restrictions:
66+
67+
- **Read-only access** - Support users can be created as `read-only` users.
68+
- **Admin/edit access** - Support users can be created as `admin` users, their actions will appear in your organization's audit log. This requires both Port manager approval and customer approval via the support user permission process.

71+
72+
In critical situations, Port can request emergency access to your organization even if support user permissions are disabled. This requires:
73+
74+
1. **Organization approval** - the organization admin must approve the emergency access request.
75+
2. **Port approval** - Internal Port approval process.
