Add Vendor Users and Assign Roles

Learn how to add users and assign roles in your PASSPort Vendor Profile.
For information on how to identify LL34 contacts in your Vendor Profile, view Identify Your Organization's LL34 Contacts.

Before We Begin

The steps below can be completed by users provisioned with the role:
Vendor Admin

Note: The individual who submitted the PASSPort account request is automatically assigned a Vendor Admin role and can complete the steps in this guide. MOCS recommends that the original Vendor Admin assign at least one other contact the Vendor Admin role to prevent account access issues.

Add New Contacts to Your Vendor Team

From PASSPort Central, click Profile in the top navigation menu.
Click Vendor Profile from the drop-down menu.

Your organization's vendor profile opens, and the Basic Information tab is visible.

Go to the Contacts tab using the left navigation menu.
Scroll down to the Vendor Contact Information section and click the Add a new Contact button.

The Contact Management pop-up window opens.

Enter the new contact's First Name, Last Name, and Email Address in the Identity section.

Click the Save and Close button at the top of the window to return to the Contacts page.

Each new contact must have a unique email address and then be assigned at least one system user role. To gain access to PASSPort, the newly added contact must Register a NYC.ID using the same email address that was entered by the Vendor Admin when adding the new contact. The NYC.ID acts as the user's PASSPort login credentials.

Assign Roles to a Contact

Newly added contacts appear in a table below the Add a new Contact button. Each contact must be assigned at least one user role in the Profile column of this table. Multiple roles can be assigned to a single user. There is no limit to the number of roles a user can be assigned.

To add a user, click into the drop-down field within the Profile column and select one or more user roles from the list.

Click the Save and Refresh button near the top of the page.

Task Authorizations by User Role

To effectively assign a user role, you must determine what tasks the user will be performing. The following tables provide an overview of the current task authorizations by user role.

Best Practices for Vendor Admins Managing Contacts

To prevent account access issues, at least two individuals should have the Vendor Admin role.
Follow the principle of least authorizations so that users only have the permissions needed to complete their job. This helps to reduce inadvertent errors.
Every contact must be assigned at least one role to log in to PASSPort. Each contact, including yourself, can be assigned multiple roles. To remove access, either remove the role(s) or delete the contact.
A Vendor Admin must assign the Signatory and Vendor Contract Signatory roles to at least one contact (which can be themselves).
While only three roles are needed to perform all tasks in PASSPort (Vendor Admin, Signatory and Vendor Contract Signatory), adding vendor contacts with task-specific roles is encouraged.
Confirm the Vendor Admin role or Vendor Procurement L2 role is assigned to at least one individual with authorization to complete the LL34 Compliance tab.
For RFx Responses, adding users to the RFx Setup Team enables them to perform all activities for a specific RFx Response. Refer to RFx Response Authorizations job aid for details.
