Introduction
This article will guide you on how to create an employer within the platform. This is an important step in managing your tenancy and must be completed prior to enrolling applicants to that employer.
The employer administrator and operation manager roles can create Employers in Bud. Please note, that those with a Trainer User role will be able to access this area and update employers, add contacts etc. However, they will not be able to create employers. This is to help control data integrity within the platform.
