Maintaining Third Party Accounts

What is a Third Party?

A Third Party Administrator, for the purposes of eAppoint, is considered one of the following:

  • A separate entity managing appointments and exchanges of business on behalf of an appointing entity. An appointing entity can have multiple Third Party Administrators, each set up with individual permissions. For example, an appointing entity may select one Third Party Administrator to handle appointment renewals and another to manage the issuing of new appointments.

  • A branch or satellite office of a larger company. For instance, a large company with multiple office locations may set up Third Party Administrator accounts for each branch or satellite office of the company. Keep in mind that the first location that registers with eAppoint would be responsible for setting up the other branches/satellite offices as Third Party Administrators within their account.

Adding a Third Party Account

Click Add on the Modify Third Party Account Screen to begin adding a Third Party to your account. eAppoint will display the screen shown below to add the Third Party Account. Each Third Party Account must be associated with an existing I-Portal account. Third Parties use the same logon information for both the I-Portal and for eAppoint. To authorize a Third Party to complete business on your behalf, you should enter his or her email address in the field provided. The email address you enter must be identical to the email address used in creating the Third Party's I-Portal account.

 

Clicking Cancel returns you to the Maintain Third Party Accounts Screen.

 

Clicking Next after entering an email address prompts eAppoint to retrieve the Third Party's information from the I-Portal.

If eAppoint finds that the email address you have entered corresponds to a valid I-Portal account, it will display the screen below to verify that is has found the appropriate entity. If eAppoint cannot find the email address you have submitted you will need to contact the Third Party regarding his or her I-Portal account. If he or she does not have an I-Portal account, one can be created. For more information about creating an I-Portal account, click here.
