This could be:

• a family member
• somebody who works in your business, such as an employee
• an agent

The person must already have an account. If they do not, they will need to register with the Rural Payments service.

What the different permissions are

Permissions are split into different types. Permission types include:

• business details
• land details
• entitlements
• Basic Payment Scheme (BPS)
• scheme specific applications, including the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) and capital grants

• view
• amend
• submit 鈥� for scheme specific applications only
