View your existing third-party contacts and adjust their information and access permissions as needed by using Third-party Risk Management. When you keep the contact details up to date, you can help to avoid your third-party contacts from getting unauthorized access or losing authorized access to the third-party
portal.

## Before you begin

The third-party risk (TPR) manager must contact a team member with the admin role to delete a contact, lock out a contact, set a password, or reset a password.  
Note:  
This content applies to your organization's internal management of third-party contacts. This is the admin interface used by TPR managers and assessors in your TPRM instance. For guidance on how third-party contacts
manage their team members' access through the portal (SAE), see [Managing the Third-party portal](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/gww4m9ufNHvyDxzuQvEzVw "Third-party contacts respond to questionnaires, requests for documentation, tasks, and issues on the Third-party portal. The portal is the point of interaction between third parties and risk assessors.").

Role required: sn_vdr_risk_asmt.vendor_risk_manager. Admin access is required to delete a contact, lock out a contact, set a password, or reset a password.

## About this task

Your third-party contacts are external users at the third-party organization. They use the third-party portal to securely organize, prioritize, and perform tasks like responding to questionnaires for assessments and communicating with your risk-assessment staff about issues. You can also adjust the access to the third-party portal and permissions for your third-party contacts.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllThird-party Risk ManagementThird PartiesThird-party Contacts to view your existing third-party contacts.  
   The number of contacts is listed for each third party on the third-party contacts page.
2. Select the third party that you want to view the list of associated contacts for and then select the third-party contact.  
3. **Optional:** Manage the access to the portal for your third-party contacts.

   | Option | Description |
   | Deactivate the account | Deactivate the account by clearing the Active check box. After you deactivate the account, the third-party contact can't log in or appear in the list of associated contacts. |
   | Resend Invite | Resend an email invitation for accessing the third-party contact portal by selecting the Resend Invite related link. The email contains a link to the third-party portal and login credentials. |
   | Delete Contact | Remove the snc_external role from the third-party contact and deactivate the third-party contact by selecting the Delete Contact related link. |
   | Locked out | Lock out the third-party contact by selecting the Locked out option. After you lock out the third-party contact, that person can't log in. The contact record remains active, but portal access is blocked. |
   | Set password | Generate a new password and send it to the third-party contact by selecting Set Password. |
   | Reset a password | Send an email with a link for resetting a third-party contact's password by selecting the Reset a password related link. Additional setup by your team member with the admin role is required. |
