This article provides Vendor Admins with a step-by-step guide on how to invite a new colleague to a Supplier List they manage, or remove an existing colleague.
Inviting colleagues allows colleague to also receive invitations to Requests or Tenders and submit a response from their own account, keeping all linked users informed of activity on the request.
Prerequisites
You must be registered as a Vendor Admin on the specific Supplier List you want to manage colleagues for.

Results/Validation
- When a new colleague is invited, they will receive an invitation email. They must click a link in the email to either set up their account or confirm their registration.
- When a colleague accepts an invitation, they are linked to the Vendor Admin's account for that list. When any linked user (Vendor Admin or Colleague) flags their intention to respond, creates a draft, or sends a response to a Request or Tender, the activity will be listed in the other user's accounts.
- When a colleague is removed, they will no longer be linked to the Supplier List.

- Go to the Manage colleagues page for the list (using the steps above).
- On the left pane of the page, under the Pending colleagues list, you will find the pending invitation.
- You can click the un-invite button to revoke the invitation, if necessary.
- To resend the invitation, use the fields on the right side of the page to invite the person again (see step 4 in the main section).
Finding the Vendor Admin's Contact Details (For Colleagues)

- Select the Lists you're on option under the Supplier Lists menu.
- View the list of all lists you are registered on as a Colleague.
- The Vendor Administrator will be detailed under the Vendor Admin column on the far right.
- Hover over the Vendor Admin's name to view their contact details in a pop-up bubble.
