About this file

This is a user and profile maintenance guide for the City of Long Beach's Long Beach Buys procurement platform, powered by Periscope. The document serves as an operational manual for Seller Administrators responsible for managing vendor accounts within the system. The guide provides comprehensive instructions for adding new users to Long Beach Buys accounts, with defined roles including Seller and Seller Administrator designations. New users receive system-generated temporary passwords upon account creation, which must be provided to them by the creating administrator. The document outlines procedures for maintaining existing user accounts, including inactivating user login IDs by changing status to "Inactive," resetting user passwords through a confirmation popup dialog, and modifying user roles by checking or unchecking the Seller or Seller Administrator permissions as needed.

The guide also details processes for maintaining vendor organizational information, specifically address management and commodity code administration. Seller Administrators can edit existing addresses or add new addresses by selecting an address type, entering required mailing information, and designating a default address for the address type. Commodity codes and services are managed through a search interface that allows keyword searches or dropdown category selection, enabling vendors to add relevant commodity codes to their accounts for targeted bid notifications. All modifications and additions require saving changes through the platform's "Save & Exit" functionality. The document contains no pricing information, contract terms, funding details, or award specifications, as it functions exclusively as a technical operational guide for platform account management.
