User roles

As a user, your responsibilities may differ depending on your role. A user may hold one role or multiple roles. The three types of user roles are:

  • Registered Bidder (noting this may be an individual representing the Registered Bidder): The Registered Bidder will be the Registry account holder. Can bid in auctions, view invoices and bidding results and request to add or remove users.
  • Authorised User: Can bid in auctions, view invoices and bidding results and request to add or remove users. If the Registered Bidder has appointed a proxy bidder to bid on their behalf at an auction, this proxy (or an individual representing the proxy) will be an Authorised User.
  • View-Only User: Can view invoices and bidding results
