# Do I need a SAM.gov account to view Contract Opportunities?

To only view opportunities, you do not need an account on SAM.gov.

- **Government Users:** If you want to update or post notices, then yes you will need an account and the appropriate privileges.
- **Non-Government Users:** If you are interested in saving searches, following contract opportunities, requesting secure documents or signing up for an Interested Vendor List, you will need a login.gov account in SAM.gov .
