User Guide
Company and Departments
Overview
Use the Entities menu to perform all Company functions. Access this menu from the homescreen dashboard or from the right-hand navigation.

To have a specific profile, a user must be assigned to a department within a company. The company must have a department that includes the user permissions. The following key principles apply to Company and Department functions within Capital Markets Platform.
- Departments can only have functions that are already assigned to a company.
- Individual users cannot be assigned profiles without being assigned to a Department within a Company.
- All user permissions are assigned a profile (Investor, Issues, and Transfer Agent) through a company department.

Follow the directions on the email sent to the email address associated with the information entered in the new department form to verify the department email address.

Add Individuals to Departments
This topic describes how to add individuals to departments within your companies. Each department within a company/entity has a single profile (Investor, Issues, and Transfer Agent) assigned to it, so the same department profile applies to users assigned within that department.
