Inviting administrative accounts

This page explains how to invite members of your customer support team to create an administrative account for themselves.

Overview

You can start onboarding your administrative and customer support crew to the Admin Console by sending account invitations. Invitations will direct invitees to a sign-up form that lets them create an account for themselves.

You can fill in beforehand the invitee’s profile information to simplify account creation for them.

At the same time, you can also control the level of access you give to invitees by assigning them a specific admin role.

Revoked invitations are removed from the 'Invitations' list permanently.
