Learn how to add, update, and delete contractor certifications. You need the Certifications Manager user role to access these settings.
How it works
When adding or editing a certification, you can:
- Use certification types to group certifications.
- Limit the certification's audience so it applies to all or some locations, role types, or groups.
- Choose if certifications require documentation and if someone should be denied access if their certification expires.
- Specify who can verify a specific certification.
- Keep certifications current by marking them either as active or inactive (no longer can be assigned).
Before starting, ensure your Account Owner has enabled the Certifications Management add-on and you've been assigned the Certifications Manager role.
