What are “Work As” Permissions?

“Work As” permissions allow you to grant another MLS user access to perform work in your MLS account, on a limited basis. As an example, if you are granted “Work As” permissions for another agent in your office, you would be able to access that user’s Listing Alerts, Saved Searches, etc.
