6. Can I add other users to my account or share my account?
Yes, that is done through the “Account Settings > Manage Users” section of the client dashboard. These users will have access to the same view as the Master Account unless you change their view permissions. The email address of the individual who initially created the account is the “Master Account” user. Any subsequent users invited through the Master Account will become a sub-account user.
To add users to your account, you must invite them. Just enter their email address above the table on “Account Settings > Manage Users” and click the “Invite User” button. The user will be sent a confirmation link to their email address, which will confirm their account after they’ve set their password. They will then be created as a “Limited” user on the master account. As you will notice, you can view date created, status, last login time, and IP address of last login. Only the master account user can then set their permissions, by going to the “Permissions” view of the table.

7. What is the account “Activity Log”?
This is a log of all the transactions and changes made on your account. This is useful for looking back at when changes were made, and by whom if there are multiple users on an account. Master account users can view all the user activity on the account, while limited users can only see their own activity.
