Account Designee Registration

This is the first page of the Account Designee Registration process on the Section 111 COB Secure Web site (COBSW). You will only go through this process once as you need only one Login ID no matter how many Responsible Reporting Entities (RREs) you will work with ultimately.

During this process, you will set up your personal Login ID and Password for the site. It shows the name and contact information for the Account Manager of the RRE ID account to which you have been invited to register as an Account Designee user. If you have questions about your role on the Section 111 COBSW or need your Pass Phrase, contact your Account Manager.

Account Designees are optional users associated with an RRE ID account. As a Designee, you will be able to perform most of the functions on the site, including submitting Section 111 files, but will not be able to invite additional users to be associated with the RRE ID nor may you update RRE ID company information. Only the Account Manager can invite and manage the users associated with the RRE ID.

Enter the Pass Phrase in the box provided that was given to you by your Account Manager. This Pass Phrase is required for you to complete your registration and must be typed exactly as your Account Manager entered it into the system when he/she invited you.

You must read the User Agreement provided in the scroll box. Use the scroll bar and up and down arrows at the right to scroll through the entire User Agreement. Click on the View and print the agreement below link to view a printer-friendly version of the User Agreement and optionally print a copy for your records.

To accept the agreement, click the checkbox. You must accept and agree to the terms of the User Agreement in order to continue through the registration process.

Click on the Continue button to go to the next page in the user registration process.

Click on the Cancel button to end the registration process.

More Information about Account Designees:

At the Responsible Reporting Entity’s (RRE’s) discretion, an Account Manager for the RRE ID may invite other individuals to register as users of the COBSW associated with the RRE ID account known as Account Designees. Account Designees assist the Account Manager with the reporting process. Account Designees may be RRE employees or agents. There is no limit to the number of Account Designees associated with one RRE ID.

The Account Designee:

  • Must register on the COBSW and obtain a Login ID.
  • Can be associated with multiple RRE ID accounts, but only by an Account Manager invitation for each RRE ID.
  • Can upload and download files to the COBSW if the RRE has specified HTTPS as the file transfer method.
  • Can use his/her Login ID and Password to transmit files if the RRE has specified SFTP as the file transfer method.
  • Can review file transmission history.
  • Can review file-processing statuses and file statistics.
  • Can change his/her personal information on the COBSW.
  • Cannot be an Authorized Representative for any RRE ID.
  • Cannot be the Account Manager for the same RRE ID.
  • Cannot invite other users to the RRE ID account.
  • Cannot update RRE ID account information.

Each user of the Section 111 application on the COBSW will have only one Login ID and password. With that Login ID and password, you may be associated with multiple RRE IDs (RRE accounts). With one Login ID, you may be an Account Manager for one RRE ID and an Account Designee for another. In other words, the role you play on the COBSW is by RRE ID.
