Employee users

An employee user is an internal user within your company. Employee users may be granted a wide range of permissions and access to your account.

Requirements & capabilities of an employee user

  • Requires the Manage employees permission
  • Employee users may only grant or revoke permissions that they themselves have been granted
  • Only account administrators may delete users from the system
  • An email address can only be associated with ONE user at a time. You cannot use the same email address for multiple users.
