Results

Two emails are sent to the third-party user to set up his or her account in SES, similar to the company account setup process. See Logging in to SES for the First Time for detailed steps on the account setup process.

New users must verify that they are affiliated with the a company before getting access to the system. As a part of this process, third party users can identify their association to your company as a part of their SES profile (e.g., law firm, audit firm, accounting firm, etc.).

If the new user rejects the company association request, the onboarding process ends and the agency receives a notification of the rejection.
