# Add a supplier contact from the Source-to-Pay Workspace

Add supplier contacts so that they can access the Supplier Collaboration Portal and start working on the most important tasks.

## Before you begin

Before performing this task, ensure that you do the following:

-   Configure self-registration for external users. For more information, see [Configure self-registration for external users](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/supplier-lifecycle-operations/config-reg-for-external-users-slm.md).
-   Configure the sn\_supplier.external\_registration\_profile\_id system property to ensure that registration emails are sent to external users. For more information, see [Configure system property to send registration emails to external users](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/supplier-lifecycle-operations/sys-prop-reg-email.md).

Role required: sn\_slm.owner, sn\_slm.manager, sn\_slm.admin

**Note:** Users with the sn\_slm.owner role can add contacts only for the suppliers that they manage. Users with sn\_slm.manager and sn\_slm.admin roles can add supplier contacts for any supplier.

2.  Under **Quick Actions**, select **Manage my suppliers**.

    The supplier details page is displayed.

4.  Navigate to the **Stakeholders** tab, and then select **Supplier contacts**.

5.  Select **Add**.

    **Note:** The **Add** button is visible only after the external user configuration is completed.

6.  In the **Contact emails** field, enter the email address of the contact that you want to invite.

    You can invite more than one contact by entering multiple email addresses separated by a comma.

7.  Select **Add**.

8.  From the **Role** drop down list, select one of the following options:

    -   **Contact**: Supplier contact role is assigned to the selected user.
