FlexMLS Document Permissions- Important Reminder
Please remember when uploading your Listing Agreement Document, Change Authorizations, or any other confidential document to your listing within FlexMLS that you select 'Has Edit Permission' to ensure that only those users who have access to edit the listing can view the documents. Has Edit Permission includes the Listing Agent, Listing Broker, and MLS Staff only. This is the DEFAULT permission setting for all required documents in the system. We have noticed a number of agents INCORRECTLY changing the permission of their confidential documents to 'Private'. This level of permissions allows ALL GMLS users to access the document. If a document is marked as 'Public' it will be available to be shared publicly with clients via FlexMLS. Click here to view the permission settings.
