Who Is This For?
This article is for users within an organization who have administrative access. They can invite other users from their organization. Note: the answers and supporting documentation that suppliers provide here are in a “lockbox” under their control. They can invite counterparties to view the information and they have the option to cancel such access at any given time. This is much more convenient than the way most buyers solicit vendor risk management information.
Common Issues
One problem that can arise is if people from the same organization join without being invited to do so by the user with administrative access for an organization that has signed up already.
