Enhance, Protect, and Comply: Understanding 'Assume Identity'

Did you know about the "Assume Identity" function in Paragon? This tool is a key element in protecting your personal information and ensuring that all activities on your account are transparently logged and accountable.


What is 'Assume Identity'?


'Assume Identity' allows your assistants or team members to access our real estate software under your account but with their own credentials. This means they log in as themselves but work under your identity, ensuring all actions are traceable back to them, not you. This function is pivotal for maintaining accountability.


Why 'Assume Identity' Matters


  • Security: By using 'Assume Identity', you avoid the risks associated with sharing passwords.

  • Accountability: Every action taken by your assistant under your account is logged with their identity. This makes it straightforward to track who performed which action, greatly aiding in error correction and compliance with regulations.

  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that your account is being operated under controlled conditions can reduce the stress of potential data breaches or unauthorized actions.


The Importance of Compliance


'Assume Identity' is a compliant method for an individual to access your account. The alternative, sharing your password is expressly forbidden and to underline the seriousness of this policy, a fine of $500 will be applied and loss of WVMLS Listing Maintenance privileges to any member found giving out their password.
