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:
- Go to the Support Staff page in Broker Portal
- Select Existing Support Staff in Office list
- 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’.
