Dual Roles: A single user can be the only Vendor Admin for one list and simultaneously be a Colleague of a different Vendor Admin on another list.
Viewing Registrations: Both the Vendor Admin and Colleague registrations a user holds can be viewed on the Lists you're on page of their account.
Marketplace Lists: For Marketplace lists, Colleagues can manage their own categories, regions of service, and location address, which may differ from the Vendor Admin's selections.
