Restrict the primary contact role for a contact to prevent them from accessing all the contacts and tasks in the Supplier Collaboration Portal.

## Before you begin

## About this task

The **Restrict access** option is available only to the primary supplier contact and the supplier administrator.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to the Supplier Collaboration Portal home page by accessing your instance URL and adding a /supplier suffix.

    For example, `https://example.com/supplier`.

2.  In the Contacts widget, select a contact to open the contact's profile page.

3.  Select **Restrict access**.

    The Restrict access dialog box is displayed.

4.  In the **Comments** field, enter the reason why you want to restrict the primary contact role for this contact.

5.  Select **Submit**.


## Result

The Primary contact column is set to **false** for this contact on the Vendor Contacts page, and the contact no longer has the primary contact role.
