What can support staff access in Broker Portal?

As a broker, you can provide your support staff access to your portfolio in the Broker Portal, with their own log in credentials. Giving support staff access will enable them to securely:

How do I register support staff for Broker Portal?

Here’s how you can provide your support staff access to your portfolio in Broker Portal:

  1. Log in to the Broker Portal
  2. Select Support Staff from the left navigation panel
  3. On the Support Staff page, select Add support staff member in the top right corner
  4. Check existing access – your support staff may have already been added by another broker in your office. Check the ‘Existing Support Staff in Office’ list, and if they appear on your firm’s list, click Add to my team.  
  5. If they haven’t already got access, click Add a new support staff member. You’ll then be prompted to provide the support staff member's:
    • first name
    • last name
    • date of birth
    • work email address
    • mobile number (required for multi-factor authentication when they log in to the Broker Portal).
  6. Check all information is correct, then select Continue
  7. Review the terms and conditions and acknowledge that you understand.
  8. Once acknowledged, your support staff member will be added to your Support Staff list in the Broker Portal.
  9. They’ll also receive an email from us with information on how they can access the Broker Portal, including their Macquarie ID.

Managing support staff access to the Broker Portal

As an accredited Macquarie Broker, it’s your responsibility to:

  • ensure your support staff member’s contact details are kept up to date in the Broker Portal; and
  • remove your support staff member’s access from your portfolio in the Broker Portal when it’s no longer required.

You can review and manage your support staff member’s access to your portfolio in Broker Portal in the Support Staff section of the Broker Portal.

What will my support staff’s contact details be used for?

You’ll need to share your support staff member’s contact details, so we can set up their user profile on the Broker Portal. Their contact details will also be used for:

  • multi-factor authentication with Macquarie Authenticator – through their mobile phone, when they log into the Broker Portal, and
  • receiving email communications for support staff via their email address.

Are international mobile numbers accepted for support staff registration?

International mobile numbers can generally be used for support staff based overseas.

How can I provide access for support staff managing multiple brokers?

Support staff can have access to multiple brokers’ portfolios on the Broker Portal. The scenarios below detail the best way to set this up for your staff and your office, including:

Support staff in the same office

Where support staff supports more than one broker within the same office, they’ll need to be set up initially. Following this, other brokers will be able to:

  1. Go to the Support Staff page in Broker Portal
  2. Select Existing Support Staff in Office list
  3. Select the registered support staff for their portfolio

Your support staff will only need one Macquarie ID to access multiple brokers' portfolios on the Broker Portal. This means when using Broker Portal, to view applications across multiple brokers, they only need to select the broker from the application list, rather than logging out and back in again with a different Macquarie ID.
 

Managing multiple Macquarie IDs for the same office 

If your support staff member has received multiple Macquarie IDs from brokers in the same office, this means that the staff member has been added as a new support staff member by multiple brokers. You should remove access for the duplicated support staff in the Broker Portal. Instead, you should provide them with access to your portfolio in the Broker Portal by adding them to your team from the ‘Existing Support Staff Office’ list.
 

Definition of ‘same office’

For the purposes of support staff accreditation, ‘same office’ refers to brokers within the same office and same aggregator. An office with multiple locations may not always be considered a ‘same office’.

Support staff across multiple offices

Where a support staff member supports more than one broker across multiple offices, they’ll need to be set up separately by each broker.

The key difference for support staff in this model is they’ll have a different Macquarie ID and log in details for each broker. That means, they’ll need to ensure they’re logged into the correct broker to access the relevant applications or existing customers.  They’ll also need to link each Macquarie ID to their Macquarie Authenticator.

Why haven't my support staff received the welcome or SMS for Macquarie Authenticator?

Check your support staff’s contact information has been entered correctly when you registered them, as any incorrect information will impact the onboarding process.

If your support staff member:

  • hasn’t received the welcome email with their log in details – check the email address you entered is correct.
  • isn't receiving the SMS when setting up Macquarie Authenticator to complete the multi-factor authentication – check their mobile number is correct.

If contact details are incorrect, you’ll need to remove them and register them again, which will issue a new Macquarie ID.
 

How can I update support staff contact details in the Broker Portal?

To update your registered support staff contact details, you’ll need to remove their access and re-register them with the correct details, which will create a new Macquarie ID for them.

How can I remove support staff access to Broker Portal?

To remove a support staff member’s access to your portfolio in the Broker Portal:

  1. Log in to the Broker Portal
  2. Navigate to the ‘Support Staff’ page on the left panel
  3. Search for the support staff member whose access you’d like to remove
  4. In the far right-hand side column, select the trash can icon
  5. A pop-up will appear, to confirm action, click Yes, revoke access.

If you’ve accidentally removed access for a support staff member, you can request access for them again, which takes up to five minutes. They’ll receive a new Macquarie ID, which will need to be added to Macquarie Authenticator when they next log in to the Broker Portal.

Why do my support staff no longer have access to the Broker Portal?

There are some scenarios where your support staff will automatically lose access to the Broker Portal. Examples include:

  • if you’ve moved offices 
  • if you’ve changed aggregators 
  • if you’re no longer an accredited Macquarie Broker.

If applicable, you’ll need to re-add your support staff to provide them with access to your new office and/or aggregator.

If we remove your support staff member’s access, we’ll send an email to you and the support staff member to let you know.
