Understanding Contact Roles in FundPanel

Modified on Thu, 04 May 2023 at 11:01 AM

FundPanel categorizes investors using a role-based system. Many roles are available for investor contacts, and it is extremely important that each contact be assigned the appropriate role(s) for each investment. The role assigned to each contact determines two things: 


1. What a portal user can view in the investor portal 

2. Which communications an investor contact is eligible to receive


Note: Contact roles control both portal permissions and communication eligibility, however a contact does not need to be activated on the investor portal to be eligible to receive communications. 


Below is a list of each contact role and a description of that role's function when assigned to a portal user.
