Associate a license with a public user

Your agency can configure a way for registered public users to associate a license with their public user account. You must perform standard choices configuration for successful implementation. Normally, a licensed professional’s public user account has the addition of a license; however, exceptions may exist when the owner of the license wants to extend license privileges to someone. For example, a business owner may want to associate the administrative assistant with the license so she can schedule inspections. When this happens, you must configure the multiple licenses on an account email to notify the owner of the license, the person who associates the license to their account, and also internally to the agency. See License notification emails.

For additional information about licensing, see License verification and online renewal.
