The ‘Lead person’ you identified for your company will be the ‘Member Administrator’ (Tier 1), who can

access the ‘whole website’ and is the only person able to change the company’s details. They have the

ability to ‘create a user’ to delegate this access to. (There can only be one person who can be a ‘Member

Administrator’.

Further Users can be created at ‘Tier 2’ (Member Vacancy Manager) which will enable them to ‘input

vacancy details’ only and view the website - not amend company details. Any number of Tier 2 users

can be created.
