The Retail Link User Management page allows Account Administrators to view their organization’s users (i.e., users within the 6-digit accounts the Administrator has access to).
There are five possible user statuses:
Active: Accounts (users) that are currently active and have access to the designated systems (Retail Link, Supplier One, etc.).
Pending Requests: The accounts (users) that need approval from the Account Administrator or the Retail Link Help Desk team.
Declined: The users that have been declined by the Help Desk team.
Pending Review: Every February, the Account Administrator must review each user for their associated 6-digit supplier IDs and approve or deny the user's access to Walmart systems. (Refer to the Yearly Review of Supplier User Access section below.)
Disabled: If a user’s access remains unverified during the February review period, they will be locked out of all Walmart systems starting March 1 until the Account Administrator unlocks them. (Refer to the Yearly Review of Supplier User Access section below.)
To view or change a user’s access or details, click the user’s name or the dots at the far right.
There are four options for each existing user:
View Profile: View the profile of the user selected.
Edit User: Edit the user selected to change the phone number, supplier number, and add or delete additional access.
Delete User: This will remove the user from the company.
If a user has access to a 6-digit account that the Administrator does not have access to, the Administrator cannot delete the user. The Administrator will only be able to remove the user's access to the 6-digit accounts that they manage.
Resend Invitation: Resend an invitation to the user. You can use this feature if you add a user and the user never received the email to set up their password.
