Inviting someone to act on your behalf in the ASIC Regulatory Portal

You may authorise another person to act on your behalf through the portal.

Only a portal user with Senior administrator or Administrator Access level for an entity (this could be an organisation structure like a company, a business, a partnership or a trust, or an individual (or ‘natural person’)) can invite other users to connect to that entity.

To invite a user, make sure you are viewing the entity you want to invite the user to connect to.

Select 'Administration' in the top navigation bar.
Select the 'Users' tab.
Select the 'Invite new user to entity' button.
enter the invitee's details – name, email address etc. You will also need to declare that you understand the access you are giving the invitee.
Select 'Confirm'. This will send the invitee an email, including an invitation key that they can use to register or connect to the entity if they have an existing portal account.
