Archiving and unarchiving a vendor

Roles and permissions

The following roles can archive and/or unarchive a vendor:

  • Administrators who are members of the Vendor Register

  • Compliance managers with manager permissions and who are members of the Vendor Register

  • Users with manager permissions and who are members of the Vendor Register

As your program grows and evolves, you may find that some vendors are no longer needed. As with other objects in Hyperproof, archiving a vendor removes them from view, but doesn’t completely remove them from Hyperproof. This is helpful should you need to access an archived vendor in the future.
