Online Services user account types
Every person using Online Services needs to register as a user.
Once you have registered as a user, you must be linked to a customer record, which represents the legal entity (such as a company or an individual).
The first user linked to a customer record becomes the administrative user. If the customer is an organisation, the first administrative user must verify that they are authorised to act on behalf of the organisation before their access can be approved by the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation (DESI). When the first administrative user has been approved, they can then add additional users to the customer record.
