How to Manage Account Users

A "user" is any employee who has a different username and password to access your DistributorCentral account. Multiple users can be added to an account and each user has a unique set of account "rights".  This means that not all users can access any part of the distributor's account. For example, You can have a "Website Administrator" user who can only access the website editor, or an "Orders Administrator" user who can enter or edit orders only. The rights associated with the user are called the "User Groups".
