How do I remove someone from a filing in the CMS?

Individuals added to a filing through the CMS are given broad permissions, including the ability to view or edit most documents and submit the filing to CFIUS.  If they are added as filing admins, they can also remove other users from a filing or add new users as filing admins.  For this reason, please use discretion when determining which individuals to add and at what level of permission.  You can remove yourself by going to the Participant Administration tab, finding your email address, clicking on the dropdown arrow, and selecting ‘Delete.’  A filing admin may also remove other users on the Participant Admin tab.  If neither of these methods are available to you, email the designated case officer and CFIUS@treasury.gov to request assistance.

What is a Payor?

“Payor” is the designation given to a CMS user that only has permission to pay a filing fee.  CMS users that are listed as contacts in a filing may designate a payor in instances when a person does not have a need to access the rest of the information contained in the CMS portal in connection with the filing of a notice.  Contacts listed in a notice filing who are not designated as “Payors” may also submit the filing fee.

What is a Filing Admin?

A filing admin is a user on a filing with permission to add or remove other users on the filing.  A filing admin may add new users either as additional filing admins or as a non-admin user.  

Non-admin users can view all non-restricted uploads and submit the filing but cannot add or remove other users.  The initial creator of a submission will always be a filing admin.
