Administrators assign users who need access to either Purchasing or Scheduling data within the Trade Portal. To grant access to a site, administrators must add users to the site and assign them to the appropriate groups described in this section.

Tip |
Users can be assigned as all three types: Purchasing, Scheduling and Administrator.
|
Administrators have full-security rights and can access all Trade Portal screens, including the Purchasing, Schedule View, Notification, Payments, and Settings screens. At least one administrator must be assigned for each supplier company.
Purchasing contacts have access to the Purchasing and Payment Menus, but not the Schedule View or Notifications Menus. Within the Settings menu, the Supplier Information and Contact Information tabs will contain read-only data. The Change Password tab will allow the current user to change his/her password.
A user designated as a Scheduling contact can view and modify content within the Schedule View and Notifications screens, but not within the Purchase Orders and Payments screens. Within the Settings menu, the Supplier Information and Contact Information tabs will contain read-only data. The Change Password tab will allow the current user to change his/her password.

To add new users to the Trade Portal:
New users must be assigned by the Builder company. Contact the builder company for permission to add another user to the site.
To edit existing contact names and information:
From the Select Contact drop-down menu, choose the supplier company’s contact name to edit.
Type the new name, e-mail address, phone number, etc. in the fields.
Select a wireless service provider if necessary, such as Nextel, Sprint, etc.
Assign the user as a Purchasing, Scheduling, and/or Trade Portal Administrator contact.
