Set researcher participation requirements

You can restrict participation in a program to researchers who meet specific account requirements. Open the program’s Manage page and find Researcher requirements. A SuperAdmin or StandardAdmin can select the requirements and save the program settings.

Requirement	What the researcher needs
Require two-factor authentication	Two-factor authentication enabled on their current account
Require verified identity	A currently valid Hackrate identity verification
Require citizenship declaration	An active citizenship declaration on record; submitting one requires valid identity verification

Researchers must meet every selected requirement before they can accept a private invitation or submit an authenticated report. The program page shows the requirements. If a researcher is missing one, the participation flow explains what to complete.

Anonymous VDP submissions are unaffected by these requirements.

For the researcher steps, see Identity verification and Understanding scope and eligibility.
