Home > Guidance & questionnaires > Adding new users and user permissions

How do I add another user to my account? What type of user permissions exist?

(This is one of our most frequently asked questions. For additional FAQs, please visit our guidance pages.)

There is no limit to the number of users that can be added to your account.
There are different three types of user roles, and the different permissions for each user role are listed below. To add other users to your account, you will need to become the Main User.

For more information on the different user roles and how to become the Main User for your organization, please view our Guide to using the disclosure platform.

For more information on how to access your organization’s account please see our FAQ on how to disclose using the Online Response System (ORS).
