How to add a delegate to an advisor account

Advisors can grant delegate access to an assistant or support team member to help manage their dashboard. This guide explains who can be a delegate, what they can do, and how to set up access.

Who can be a delegate

  • Each advisor can add one delegate to their account.
  • The delegate must be an administrative assistant or other support staff member.
  • Another advisor cannot be assigned as a delegate — the system will block this action.

What can a delegate can do

  • A delegate has the same dashboard access as the advisor.
  • They can view and manage client information and tools.
  • They cannot access the advisor’s Profile & Settings page.
  • This restriction protects personal and account-specific information.

How to add a delegate

  1. Log in to your advisor dashboard.
  2. Select the option to add a delegate.
  3. Enter the delegate’s email address.
  4. The delegate will receive an email invitation with a "Create Your Delegate Access Account" button.
  5. The delegate must click the button and follow the prompts to create their account.
  6. After setup, the delegate is automatically redirected to the advisor's dashboard.

What happens after delegate access is granted

  • The delegate can immediately access tools and client lists.
  • Access to Profile & Settings remains restricted.
  • Feature availability may vary depending on your broker-dealer, RIA, or firm.
