Representative: Can only manage their own profile, and cannot see other's information when logged in
Note: For each Affilate or Rep that you add to your District account you will be creating a username and password for each one. This username and password that you set for each would need to be provided to each affliate or rep so that they can access their account.

All employee/associate types are able to register for events and training.
