Use this process to change the Vendor Admin for a Supplier List registration when the current Admin leaves the organisation or needs to be replaced. The steps depend on the type of list:
- Marketplace Lists — the Vendor Admin can transfer the list directly to a registered colleague.
- Other Supplier Lists (e.g., preferred supplier lists) — you will need to contact the List Owner to complete the transfer.
Prerequisites
- Your user account must be registered on the Supplier List, either as the current Vendor Admin or as a Colleague.
- For a Marketplace List transfer, the new Vendor Admin must already be registered as a Colleague on the list, with a matching ABN, and must not already be registered as Vendor Admin on that same list. (See: Adding and Removing Colleagues)
- For all other lists, it's best practice to register the new Vendor Admin as a Colleague on the list before requesting the transfer.
Steps
Transferring a Marketplace List
- Navigate to the Supplier Lists you manage page under the Admin Tools section on the homepage's left-side menu.
- Locate the Marketplace list you wish to transfer and go to Manage Colleagues list.
- Find the registered colleague you want to transfer the list to.
- Click the Transfer option to the right of that colleague's name.
- Confirm the transfer.
- Result: The selected colleague is designated as the new Vendor Admin for that Supplier List registration and you will remain as colleague.
Transferring Preferred Supplier Lists
- Navigate to the Lists you're on page under the Supplier Lists section on the homepage's left-side menu.
-
Click the list name (in blue) for the list you wish to transfer to view the list's details and contact information.
- Contact the List Owner using the phone number or email provided on the list's details page.
- Request that the List Owner replace the current Vendor Admin with the new user.
Results / Validation
- Marketplace Lists: The new Vendor Admin is designated immediately once the transfer is confirmed.
- Preferred Supplier Lists: The List Owner will action and confirm the transfer and the new user will be designated as the Vendor Admin for that Supplier List registration.
Troubleshooting
-
No Transfer option appears next to a colleague on a Marketplace List: This can happen if:
- The list is not a Marketplace List (it's a preferred supplier list, which requires the List Owner contact method instead).
- There is a mismatch between the ABN of the Vendor Admin and the colleague.
- The colleague is already registered as Vendor Admin on the same list.
- The colleague is not active on any list.
- There is missing information on the colleague's account that still needs to be validated.
If the new Vendor Admin has not yet been added as a colleague, or the Transfer option still isn't available after checking the above, reach out to the Support Team for assistance.
- If the existing Vendor Admin has left the organisation and you can't access their account, contact the List Owner or Support team for assistance with the transfer.
Limits & Notes
- A Supplier List acts as a contract between the Suppliers and the list-owning organisation, so for non-Marketplace lists (Preferred supplier lists), only the List Owner can authorise a change to the Vendor Admin.
