Accept an invite to act on behalf of a business
Accept an invite to use the Export Service if you are an employee or third party.
Employees and third parties need to be invited to join a business in the Export Service. You can then use the Export Service to act on behalf of that business.
Someone assigned the ‘Principal authority (Owner)’ or ‘Manager’ role in the Export Service needs to invite you. They need to Link a business in the Export Service first.
They can then invite you via email from their Export Service account. You have 7 days to accept the invite to the business.
When they invite you, they will also assign you a role in the Export Service. For more information, go to Invite someone to act on behalf of a business.
Your role determines the tasks and information you can access on behalf of a business. For more information, go to Roles and access levels in the Export Service.
You can watch our video for step-by-step guidance.
