Support in the MTP

Managed Service Provider (MSP) Admins can get interactive support directly from their Multi-Tenant Portal (MTP) in a variety of ways. Learn more about how JumpCloud supports you and your users below.

Prerequisites

• Prior to contacting JumpCloud Support, customers and partners are encouraged to review our Help Center articles. 

Considerations

• If you don’t find a solution in our Help Center, support requests can only be submitted by active Admins associated with your account. Further authentication of your identity may be required for security reasons.
• All customers, regardless of support tier, will be able to use self-service features, and see the status of the platform with the help of Live Chat. Premium customers have access to both self-service and live chat help from one of our experts.
• See Best Practices for Submitting Support Tickets for tips on what you can include in your support ticket that can help us, help you, faster. If there is an extraordinary circumstance and you can’t access your MTP to submit a support ticket, refer to the JumpCloud Employee/Customer Communication and Extraordinary Access Policy.

Support Includes:

• Product defect and issue triaging, analysis and resolution.
• Product integration assistance with resources through JumpCloud-supported protocols.

Support Request Guidelines

In order to gain a mutual understanding on the relative impact of a technical issue for an organization, the purpose of this section is to define severity levels, target response times, and an escalation path. JumpCloud support is available to eligible organizations as defined by JumpCloud Support Policies.

Support Tiers and Eligibility: 

• Premium Support – Customers and partners can opt for 24 x 7 x 365 priority support access via phone, email, and chat through JumpCloud’s Premium Support offering. This support level is ideal for all customers and especially those interested in efficiency, security, and maximizing their IAM investments.
• Standard Support – Our customers and partners who are currently engaged in month-to-month or annual contract billing plans with JumpCloud receive the benefit of JumpCloud’s support assistance.
• Free Account Customers – Help Center access is available to free account customers. If free account customers are interested in purchasing JumpCloud, they can enter a sales cycle through our sales team, or sign-up for our JumpStart program to become eligible for support.

Creating a Support Ticket

To create a Support ticket:

1. Log in to your MTP.
2. In the top right corner, click Support > Create a Support Ticket.  
3. Fill out the following details:
   • *Subject: Give a brief summary of the issue. For example, “Mac agent install is failing.”

3. Now help us understand your vision by providing us some details for your idea under What problem are you trying to solve? Have you seen this problem solved elsewhere?*
4. Select a category that your idea most closely relates to:
   • Admin & User Management
   • Integrations (AD, M365/Entra ID, Google Workspaces, Applications)       
   • Authentication (RADIUS, Passwordless)                         
   • Security Management (Conditional Access Policies, MFA)                 
   • Device Management (Agents, Commands, Policy Management, Patching)

When you request a feature, it goes directly to our Product Management Team for review. We get lots of great ideas and unfortunately can’t respond to all of them. However, we do look at all requested features.

If we have any initial questions, a member of our team will contact you via email to learn more.

Otherwise, we’ll categorize your idea with feedback we’ve received from other customers and save it for when we start investigating your need as part of our roadmap. That way, you’ll be on our short list of customers to connect with when we start investigating the need, defining solutions, or developing early access features that might meet your needs.
