This article explains the Vendor Admin and Colleague roles associated with your Supplier list registration. Knowing these roles helps you understand who manages the account and who can access requests for Quotes and Tenders.
Prerequisites
To be added as a Colleague on a list, you must meet the following criteria:
- The company you represent must already be registered as a Supplier on VendorPanel- a Unimarket Company.
- The Vendor Admin for the specific list must invite you.
Key Ideas: Vendor Admin vs. Colleague
Vendor Admin
- The Vendor Admin is the primary contact for a Supplier's list registration.
- They are responsible for managing the list registration, including inviting and removing Colleagues.
- The Vendor Admin receives all Requests for Quotes and Tenders for the list(s) they are registered on.
Colleague
- A Colleague is a user invited to join the list registration by the Vendor Admin or a list owner.
- They can access the Requests for Quotes and Tenders issued via the list(s) they are registered on.
- Colleagues are added on a list-by-list basis. This allows a Vendor Admin to grant access to one, several, or all of their list registrations.
- On a Marketplace list, a Colleague can manage their own categories, regions of service, and location address. These selections can be different from the Vendor Admin's selections.
- When a Vendor Admin is invited to a Request or Tender, any eligible Colleagues on the relevant Supplier List will also be invited.
Dual Roles
A single user can hold different roles on different lists. For example, one user can be:
- The only Vendor Admin for one specific list.
- A Colleague of a different Vendor Admin on another list.
You can view both your Vendor Admin and Colleague registrations on the Lists you're on page in your account.
