Add, edit or remove a person in TRACE

Change the people who can access TRACE to act for a business.

Add a person

To add people in TRACE, they will need a TradeClear account. For more information, go to Create a TradeClear account using Digital ID. You may need to invite them to TradeClear.

Follow the steps to add someone to TRACE:

  1. Sign in, opens in a new tab to your TradeClear account.
  2. Select ‘Export’.
  3. Go to 'Businesses' and select the business.
  4. Select 'Export systems'.
  5. Select 'Go to TRACE'.
  6. Go to the 'Exporter management' tab.
  7. Select 'Contacts/Users'.
  8. Go to 'Manage Contacts/Users'.
  9. Select 'Add new record'.
  10. Follow the steps and select 'Add'.

The new user will appear in the 'Manage Contacts/Users' list. They can then connect TRACE to their TradeClear account.

Use a personal email address, not a generic one

The email address you enter must belong to the person you're adding. Don't use generic emails such as admin@business.com.au.

Using a generic email can cause problems. For example, if someone signs up with that address and tries to connect it to TRACE, it may already be linked to another account.
