Can I Add More Than One Person as a License Administrator for My License?

Managing Your License on the California RBS Portal: Understanding Different Roles of License Administrators and Designees

When managing a license through the California RBS Portal, it’s useful to understand the roles and limitations associated with License Administrators and Designees. One common question is whether you can have multiple License Administrators for a single license. 

Can You Have More Than One License Administrator?

The short answer is no—you can only designate one individual as the License Administrator for each license number. This rule ensures one single point of contact for managing all the responsibilities associated with the license.

While you can’t have multiple License Administrators, there are alternatives for distributing responsibilities and managing the RBS server roster in the ABC Portal.

Step 1: Designate a Single License Administrator

The primary License Administrator is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the license. This includes compliance with Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training requirements, managing license details, and maintaining up-to-date records on the California RBS Portal.

To designate someone as the License Administrator:

1. Log Into Your Account: Login to the California RBS Portal using your License Administrator credentials.
2. Navigate to License Management: In the portal, find the section dedicated to license management.
3. Designate the Administrator: Follow the prompts to assign the License Administrator role to one individual.

Step 2: Invite Designees for Additional Support

You can invite one or more Designees to assist with managing the license and the RBS server roster. Designees have concise roles and permissions, allowing them to help with various tasks without holding the primary administrative responsibility.

To invite Designees:

1. Access the License Management Section: Log in to the California RBS Portal and navigate to where you manage your license details.
2. Select the Option to Add Designees: Search for the feature that allows you to invite or manage Designees.
3. Enter Designee Details: Provide all the necessary information for each Designee, including their role and permissions with the license in the ABC Portal.
4. Send Invitations: Complete the process by sending invitations to the chosen Designees, who will then receive instructions on how to access their roles in the ABC Portal.

Benefits of Using Designees in Addition to License Administrators

• Enhanced license support designation
• Improved efficiency within the establishment
• Focused roles that streamline efficiency in managing the license
