Maintaining Filer Accounts

A company's RRC Online Security Administrator maintains the organization's Filer accounts. The Security Administrator can perform the following maintenance activities:

  • Edit Filer information (such as email, phone, and business title).
  • Set the status of Filer accounts to Inactive.
  • Assign filing rights to Filer accounts for specific forms. To file a specific form, your company's Security Administrator must assign the correct filing right to your Filer account. 

(See the Managing Your Password page for information about resetting a Filer's forgotten password.)


The Security Administrator maintains Filer accounts on the Account Administration screen from the Maintain Accounts tab.
