# Vendor Role and Access Control

## Vendor **Roles**

A single vendor in **Marco** can have **multiple users** with a **Vendor** role**.**

A user added by via the **Vendor Portal** will always be assigned a **Vendor** role. Vendor users can have two different access types:

* **Vendor User:** User with access to Vendor Portal with **Basic** Vendor Privileges and access to Customers assigned to them
* **Vendor Admin:** User with access to Vendor Portal with **Full (admin)** Vendor Privileges and access to all Customers

## **Access Control of Vendor Users**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.marcopayroll.com/marco-user-guide-x4/2025/marco-platform-structure/vendor-portal/vendor-role-and-access-control.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
