An Administrator is someone who will enroll warranties on behalf of the Real Estate Agent.

1. Admin accounts must be set up through TIMX and not the ARC like an agent account.
   
2. To set up an Admin account in TIMX, we need: 
   
1. The Admin’s name
   
2. The email address they want to use as their username
   
3. The office they need to be tied to
   
1. If tied to the Main, the Admin will have access to every office that reports to the main office
   
2. If tied to the Branch, the Admin will only have access to that branch office
   

Sample of Admin Account Setup Request

Admin Account Setup Process

1. Search TIMX for the Admin’s name.  For this example, I searched both Barb and Barbara:
   
   
   
   
   

2. Once you have determined that the Admin is not already in the system, click on Add to create a new Distribution Channel, then click Yes.
   
   

   
   

3. Enter the Admin’s name on the top Name field, then select Basic for the PGM, and Administrator for the BUS TYPE.
   
   
   
   

1. Refer to the office account on a separate screen to fill in the information for the Admin account.
   
   
   
   

2. Be sure to use the Admin's email address in the email field. This email address will be their ARC Username.
   Once an email is used as the username, it can't be changed, and it can't be used again for a different account. 
   
   
   
   

3. The RASL for the Admin account will match the RASL for the office they are tied to.
