Account Management
At least one individual must be identified as the CBA for each account. The CBA(s) will have the highest level of authority on the Proof website. In addition to buying authority, they will be able to add, edit and delete employees on the account. CBAs can also determine which activities an employee is allowed to do by managing user roles. For example, the CBA will determine which employees have permission to buy products, view account information and view order history. CBAs can also add other CBAs as necessary. The CBA is typically the owner or licensee and is responsible for managing the Proof account.
You control how many users/employees can shop on Proof. The administrator of your Proof account, called the Customer Business Administrator or CBA, designates who can and cannot purchase products on Proof.

We thought you might ask…
There are three steps:
- Become a Southern Glazer’s customer, if you aren’t one already.
- Identify your company's Customer Business Administrator (CBA). This is a key Proof account role with the authority to grant access to Proof to others inside your company. This individual will typically be someone higher up in the company (e.g., owners or licensees).
- Let your Sales Consultant or Southern Glazer’s Customer Advocacy team know who you’ve authorized to be your company’s CBA. We’ll take it from here and get you signed up.
Because it’s an exciting way for customers of Southern Glazer’s to get more convenience and control and sell more products. Because it’s going to help you and your Sales Consultants develop better strategies for selling your products. And because it doesn’t cost you anything.
Yes. You’ll get the same great pricing and deals whether you order online or through your Sales Consultant.

If you are a licensed customer, signing up is easy! Simply visit SGProof.com and Click “Sign Up” in the top right corner, or contact Customer Support. Once your details are confirmed, you will receive an email with a link to set your password.
To set up your account, your Sales Consultant or Customer Advocate will need you to identify your company’s Customer Business Administrator.
CBAs have the highest level of administrative authority on a Proof account. Key CBA responsibilities include:
- Adding and deleting employees on the account
- Granting employee permissions (e.g. purchasing, accessing account information, viewing order history, etc.)
- Maintaining which employees have access to the site
Every Proof account needs at least one designated CBA to access the site and order products through the experience.
