Adding & Managing Team Members

Vendor Admins can invite additional users to collaborate within their vendor account.

Invite a Team Member

  1. Navigate to Team Members Tab

  2. Click Add Member

  3. Enter the user’s name and email address

  4. Click Add Team Member to send the invitation

Once sent, the user will receive an email invitation to set up their Parts Portal account.

Edit or Remove Team Members

  • Existing users can be removed using the Actions column next to their name.

  • Changes to access take effect immediately.

Vendor Roles & Permissions

Parts Portal uses role-based access to control what actions users can perform within a vendor account.

Vendor Admin Role

Admins have full access to the platform and are responsible for managing system-level settings.

Permissions include:

  • Managing team members and user roles

  • Creating and editing customers

  • Managing parts, materials, and operations

  • Configuring pricing, lead times, and other system settings

  • Viewing and responding to all RFQs, quotes, and orders

✉️ Notifications: Admins receive system-wide notifications for RFQs, quote activity, and orders.

Vendor Team Member Role

Team Members can support day-to-day quoting and order management but have limited administrative access.

Permissions include:

  • Viewing and responding to RFQs

  • Creating and updating quotes

  • Viewing assigned customers, parts, and orders

⚠️Limitations: Team Members cannot manage users or edit global configuration settings.

✉️ Notifications: Team Members receive notifications related to the RFQs, quotes, and orders they are involved with.

Profile Management & User Settings

All vendor users can manage their individual profile settings.

From the Profile Settings area, users can:

  • Update their name and contact information

  • Change their password

  • Manage notification preferences

⚠️ Note: Email addresses are tied to login credentials and cannot be edited directly. If an email address needs to be changed, contact [email protected] for assistance.

Email Notifications Overview

Vendor notifications are activity-based and help ensure timely responses.

Common notifications include:

  • New RFQs received

  • Quote updates and status changes

  • Order activity and confirmations

Notification delivery depends on user role and individual notification preferences.


Best Practices

  • Assign at least one Admin to ensure coverage for user management and system configuration

  • Limit Admin access to users responsible for pricing and operational decisions

  • Review notification settings to ensure important activity is not missed
