List of associated persons

At least two associated persons for the Beneficiary organisation will be available in the list by default, the Primary Contact and the Legal Representative of the project as per the signed grant agreement. Associated persons for the participating organisations which are part of the grant agreement, for example partner organisations, are also transferred upon project creation. 

Contact persons transferred from the NA project management system and flagged as Primary Contact or Legal Representative will obtain their respective access rights for both the project and project dissemination. 

In this example, two associated persons for the beneficiary organisation are available in the project. The role (1) and access (2) rights for each contact are displayed and it is possible to view and edit (3) these contacts, using the available buttons. You can also delete contacts, but only the ones you have added in the Beneficiary module. The associated persons transferred upon project creation cannot be deleted.

Provide the required information

After you have selected the organisation, continue to provide all the required details. 

Take note of the following rules for Associated persons in Beneficiary module: 

• Theemail address used for a contact does not have to be unique across all organisations within the same project. That means the same email address can be used for a contact for different organisations. In such cases, the highest access level will be applied when the contact person opens the project. 
• A contact person may not belong to any organisations, other than the beneficiary organisation, the co-beneficiary organisations or other organisations participating in the project.
• There can only be one Legal Representative for any given participating organisation within the same project.
• The list of Associated persons belonging to the beneficiary organisation must include at least one associated person flagged as Primary contact. This will ensure that automatic notifications can always reach a valid recipient. 
• The list of Associated persons belonging to the beneficiary organisation must include at least one associated person with full access to the project (i.e., Edit access).
• By default, all associated persons from the other participating organisations have view access to the entire project data, but this can be changed by beneficiary associated persons with edit access.
• Associated persons from an Invited Organisation (KA2 projects) do not have access to the project in My projects.

Fill in the available fields:

1. General information such as First name, Last name and email address
2. Select the contact's Role within their organisation by checking the appropriate boxes: 

• • Primary contact (or Erasmus coordinator, for KA120, KA121, KA150, ESC50, and ESC52 projects) - all automated notifications regarding the selected project are sent to this contact's registered email address.
  • OLS Administrator - this option indicates that the user has the Learning Manager role in the EU Academy system. The availability of this flag depends on the action type of the project.
  • Legal Representative - this option indicates if the person is a legal representative of the organisation. The checkbox can be selected for contacts that are created in Beneficiary module.
