🚩 Only applicable to agencies with the participants feature enabled.
A participant user is a user who can log in to VerticalChange, but is only given access to view a specific contact.
Much like a staff member, participant users have an email, password and permission set associated with their account.
Unlike staff members, though, when creating a participant user, an admin must specify which contact in VerticalChange the participant user is associated with. When a participant user logs in, they are only given access to see the information on that particular contact.

This type of user is useful to agencies with multiple sites or organizations where the person in charge at the site needs to login to record an assessment or enter in details, but you don't want them to access information about the other sites.
