Sub-User Accounts for PADI Pro’s Site
The sub-user (aka delegate) accounts allow store employees to access the Online Processing Center without having access to everything on the PADI Pro’s Site. A delegate account can send digital codes and certify students / DSDs, but that’s it.
Up to twenty delegate accounts may be added to a store’s account; however, only three may be active at any one time.
Here’s How to Get Started
- Log in to the PADI Pro’s Site as the store
- Choose My Account from the main menu.
- Scroll to the bottom of the My Account screen
- Choose “Administrator Delegate Function”
- Accept the Terms of Use
Add a New User
- On the Add/Delete Users page, click “Add New Delegate”
- Input the new user information (the person does not have to be a PADI Member)
- There is a limit of three active sub-users. You can create up to 100 delegate accounts, but only three can be active at one time. You can choose who is active or inactive on the fly.IMPORTANT: If the user is a PADI Member, the email address used for the delegate login CANNOT be the same as their email address used for their regular PADI Pro login. A different email must be used.
Test the New User Account
Log out of the PADI Pro’s Site
Log back in as sub-user to test the new account.
Once logged in as the sub-user, the only menu item available will be PIC Online
Important info:
- Delegate users cannot purchase PIC online / digital codes from the Pro’s Site because they don’t have access to the online shopping cart.
- Please use only Chrome or Firefox when interacting with PADI’s websites. Adding a delegate user is not optimized to work with Safari or a mobile device.
- Your delegate will have access to the entire Online Processing Center (OLPC) including PIC online Processing and sending / certifying eLearning and Touch students. At this time there is no way to limit access to certain parts of the OLPC.
