A DB101 account lets you save and restore Estimator sessions, do Vault activities, store files, and save favorite pages.
With the AZ Service Professional role, pros who support clients get advanced management of their files and contacts in the Vault. This makes the Vault interface more complex.
Once you get the AZ Service Professional role, you cannot go back to the regular Vault interface. If you do not ask for the AZ Service Professional role during registration, you can get it later by updating your account Profile information.
We will contact your supervisor to confirm that you are authorized to have this role. You or your supervisor must tell us if you should no longer have this role.
