What are the types of user profiles?

Administrator: A portal user with full access to manage all tax profiles registered to an entity. This includes the ability to control user access, settings, and other functions. Typically, this is the business owner or primary profile holder. Profile Administrators have overall access to the Taxpayer Entity and all profiles associated with it. Multiple Administrators can exist for each Taxpayer Entity. Administrators can add, remove, or update authorized users and grant access to tax profiles. Please ensure that you are only linking to the entity as the Administrator if you hold an authorized position within your organization.

Delegate: An individual authorized by an Administrator to access a Taxpayer Entity and/or selected tax profile(s) to perform specific tasks, such as filing returns or making payments. This role grants the Delegate User the ability to carry out specific functions assigned by the Administrator, without the high-level access that the Administrator possesses. There is no limit to the number of Delegate Users under a Taxpayer Entity, nor to the combination of access to the Taxpayer Entity or tax profile(s). Each Delegate User is granted access based on the Administrator's discretion.

Can there be more than one Profile Administrator?

How do I remove or change an Administrator?

How do I remove a Delegated User?

If, at any time, an Administrator wants to revoke the Delegate access granted, go to ‘My Profile’ and click on ‘Manage Delegates.’ Select the name of the delegate and adjust the permissions to make a change, or you may enter an end date to revoke all permissions as of the specified date.

What if I create an Administrator profile by mistake?
