REALTORS® can give permission to another user (admin they work with, partner in the business, unlicensed assistant, team member, etc.) to impersonate them while using CREA and other products behind REALTOR.ca SSO.

This means that they:

• Allow a person they trust to access products on their behalf and, based on their own access level, to view and edit information.
• Accept the risks associated with that activity, as the authorized person is accessing the products and making changes on their behalf.

Alternation is helpful and is useful in scenarios such as:

• In a partnership where one REALTOR® is on vacation and wants to make sure that business continues without interruption;
• A team admin is accessing WEBForms® or Listing Statistics, creating reports and paperwork to be sent to a client on behalf of the REALTOR®; and/or
• An unlicensed assistant is entering listing details in WEBForms® based on the notes from a REALTOR® in their office.
