Not be vs Not have been

Hello

Can someone please explain to me what is the difference between these two tenses:

so the users will not be vetted

so the users will not have been vetted

Here is the original sentence to give you a better understanding: They want non-xyz people to use the generic account (for recruitment purposes so users won’t have been vetted).

These are future aspects or "tenses" as some people refer to them. I would opt for "so the users will not be vetted," which is a simple future construction. They want (at this very moment) non-xyz people to use the generic account for recruitment purposes so that (in the future) users will not be vetted.
