How does an Applicant grant access to a Project Sponsor/Developer to complete application?
Do the following:
- Applicant creates Project Sponsor/Developer User Account;
- Applicant completes email -> System sends email (with link to retrieve password) to Project Sponsor/Developer user with Username & Registration Code;
- System retrieves password after identifying Web User Account and sends password via email to Sponsor/Developer.
May access to an application be granted to multiple users?
Yes, an Applicant may assign as many developer or project sponsor users as desired to an application.
May an Applicant grant access to an application to third-parties who are not developers or sponsors (e.g.: bond counsel, market study analysts, consultants, etc.)?
The system currently lacks the capability to specifically assign access to third-parties who are not developers or sponsors. However, an Applicant may grant access to such third-parties via the developer/sponsor access function. Please note: An Applicant should not share its ID and password with parties outside of its organization. Doing so would allow the user to view all applications in the Applicant’s queue.
