Assumptions

NOTE

Each institution will normally have one or two key people with whom Silverband will communicate. These key people are your Authorised Paradigm Contact(s). These contacts are assigned by your institution as people from whom Silverband will accept tickets, requests and other communication. If communication is received from other users, Silverband will refer these issues to the Authorised Contact(s) from your institution, and the issue may not be acted upon.
