Creating a new Control Center user

As a Control Center system administrator, you can create new users at your organization. When you create a new user, you must also give permission for role-based functions (e.g., user administration, billing, reporting) and assign at least one account to the user. Without roles or accounts, the user will be able to sign in, but will not be able to do anything in Control Center.

As a system administrator, you can also add an existing user, change a user's permissions, and assign accounts to a user. (If you're not a system administrator, you can view a list of who can make these changes in your organization.)

After you create a profile for a user, they can update their profile (contact information) as needed.

To create a new Control Center user:

  1. Click Admin, then click Users.

    Control Center lists the users for your organization. Users with additional permissions or roles have icons next to their username: system administrators ().
