Assign multiple auditors
The Auditor (Admin) account type can assign other auditors to audit the same supplier's assessments. This may be helpful when specific auditors have expertise in a focus area of the assessment.
To do this, the Auditor (Admin) must first be sent an assessment. After the assessment is received, other auditors can be assigned.

Although multiple auditors can be assigned to audit the same supplier's assessment, only one auditor can submit the final assessment. A lead auditor should be assigned to do a quality check and then submit the assessment.
Additionally, auditors can overwrite each other's responses so it is important to coordinate which auditors complete specific indicators.
