  • SurfGuard user accounts are managed by each state office. Contact your state centre using the appropriate form here to have them update your permissions if necessary.

I can’t delete an Award Type

The functionality to delete an Award Type has been removed as it can break too many functions.

  • Contact the Helpdesk to request that the Award Type be deleted from the database.
