User settings
User accounts have a number of basic properties that you can set yourself:
Setting | Explanation |
Display name | This is the name by which the user is recognized in the VendorLink environment. |
The user's email address. This e-mail address is used for, among other things, notifications and resetting the password. | |
Phone number | This is a informational field and is not used by the application. |
Department | This is a informational field and is not used by the application. |
Hide Alerts pane on Start Center | This gives you the option to hide the Alerts section on the Start Center. |

Roles, Commodites & Cost Centre groups
Roles determine the rights of a user account in VendorLink, and categories & cost center groups determine the content. It determines whether a user is allowed to see certain modules, tables and graphs. Setting categories only takes effect when 'Category Authorization' is enabled in Admin > General Settings > General Settings > Authorization and Security.
Setting up cost center groups only affects Spend Community users. These are users with the role 'Cost Center Group User'.
