Configure Subcontractor Administrators to Register and Manage SafeSite Users
Subcontractor administrators must be given suitable permissions in Virtual Superintendent before they can register or manage SafeSite accounts for staff in their organization.
This page describes the steps required by head contractors (users with Admin Manager permissions) to configure subcontractor administrators (users with Subcontractor Admin permissions) to independently create, view and edit SafeSite user accounts for their own subcontractors.
Note: To learn about registering and managing SafeSite users as a subcontractor administrator, read the Register New SafeSite Users as a Subcontractor Administrator help article. To learn about adding and managing SafeSite accounts as a head contractor, read the Register New SafeSite Users help article. Head contractors can add and manage SafeSite and Virtual Superintendent accounts for any supplier. Subcontractor administrators can only manage SafeSite accounts for their own organization.
