# Verifiers/Institutions - Overview

## The Verifiers role

The Verifiers role provides a dedicated user experience to oversee and/or verify various parts of the Applicant processes so that all parties involved can be in the loop about where a given Application is in the process, including its related records.

Overview of features (optional to enable)

* A dedicated user type and portal for Verifiers
* Application assignment of Verifiers for Verifier application access
* A two-step submission process from Applicant to Verifier and then Verifier to Funder
* Verifier Letter of Offer acceptance or decline (in addition to the Applicant decision)
* Verifier Signatories for Contracts to enable tri-party agreements
* Milestone access for Verifiers
* Two-step submission process for Milestones from Applicant to Verifier and then Verifier to Funder

The term "Verifiers" can be configured and renamed to suit your funding domain (for example: Institution, University, or Platform).

Registration and invitation

* Verifiers can register their organisation through your portal or receive an invitation from a system Administrator.
* Once registered, Verifiers can manage their organisation details and invite additional members through their portal at any time.

Assignment, permissions, and workflow

* After Verifiers are added to your system, you can assign Applications to them.
* Based on your Verifier settings configuration, they will have specific viewing and editing permissions for any Applications assigned to them.
* You can enable a two-step submission process that requires Applications to be submitted to the assigned Verifier for review before final submission to your Organisation.

Additional integrated processes with Verifiers

* Verifiers can be set up to accept Decision Letters (Letters of Offer)
* Application Milestones can be accessed by Verifiers, with the option for Milestones to be submitted to their Verifier before submission to your Organisation
* Contracts can be accessed by Verifiers and Verifier users can be assigned as [Contract Signatories](https://help.tahua.io/knowledge-base/administrator-help-guides/contracts/signing-a-contract) if they are required to sign Agreements

What this means for you

* Easily involve all parties in the process of submitting and managing an application
* Ensure appropriate oversight and approval have been gained before the application reaches you
* Understand who an application is currently with in real time
