Create A Vendor User

Vendor Risk Manager has two types of Vendor Contact users: 

• Primary Vendor User: The primary contact for the vendor. This user is responsible for creating other vendor users that the primary user can delegate assessment questions to.
• Regular Vendor User: These users are responsible for answering questions that have been delegated to them. 

To add a vendor user:

1. Open Vendor Risk Manager.

2. Go to Vendors > Vendors, then select a vendor to open.

3. Click the Vendor Contacts tab.

4. Click New. The New User dialog.

5. Enter following information:

   • Login ID: The user's login ID. Note that user name cannot be changed once the user account is created.

   • Password: Must be at least eight characters long and contain at least one upper case letter, one lower case letter, one special character, and one number.

   • Confirm Password: Retype the password.

   • First Name: Type the user's first name as you want it to be displayed in other fields, such as Entity Ownership. Many default email templates use the recipient's first name as a greeting.

   • Middle Name: The user's middle name.

   • Last Name: The user's last name. 

   • Email Address: The user's full email address. Users enter their email address (or User name) when they log into RiskVision. Notifications will be sent to the address specified here.

   • Force Password Change: Select this option if you want the user to change their password when logging in for the first time.

   • Allow user to access RiskVision: By default, the user can access RiskVision when a vendor user account is created. Clear this option to deactivate the user account if you want the vendor to begin using RiskVision at a later date.

6. Click OK to finish adding the vendor user account.
