Admin overview

The Admin Overview page gives summarized information on your account using both Account Summary and Storage Usage. A View release notes link to What’s new in ShareFile documentation is provided at the bottom of the page.

Account Summary

The account summary dashboard provides the following details: Account Name, ID, Billing Plan Type, Billing Cost, Next Billing Date, Account Owner, and Allocated Licenses. The page also displays any entitlements on your account.

Account owner

This is an administrator whose skills and experience allow for greater permissions and who maintains all user permissions available on the account. It cannot be deleted by any other user. If an account feature is added to the account, the account owner automatically has access to the feature. Any other users must be granted access as desired by the account owner.

All subsequent access to the customer’s account is managed by the account owner or administrators designated by the account owner.

Identifying the account owner

To identify the current account owner, go to People > Browse Employees. The account owner has a special icon to the right of their name.
