On the Vendor portal, you can view, add, modify, or delete contact information about the individuals in your company who interact with the customer.
Note
-
The level of access to contact information is determined by role. Only users who have Vendor portal administrator (external) rights can add, edit, or delete a contact. For more information about vendor-specific user roles, see About user roles.
-
A contact cannot be assigned a user role until a contact record for the user has been created and saved. A user role gives the contact access to the Vendor portal. To modify a user’s vendor role, you must submit a request. For more information, see Add and maintain your users.
