How to: Use the Support Portal knowledge base

If you encounter any issues or have questions about using the Support knowledge base, please reach out to support@sailpoint.com.

 

 

Overview

You can access the Support Knowledge Base through the SailPoint Support Portal. For help navigating the portal, refer to this community tutorial.

The Support Knowledge Base offers in-depth guidance on common issues and routine solutions. We regularly review support cases to identify trends and develop targeted articles that proactively address recurring problems. As a first stop for resolving product issues, this resource can often help you find a solution faster than submitting a support request.
