Trade Account Exclusive Feature

 

Company account management features are only available to approved Trade account customers. Learn more about Trade Accounts.


Roles for company users are set up with various levels of permission to access sales information, account information, and resources. By default the Company Administrator has full permissions.

The system has one predefined Default User role, which you can use as is or modify to suit your needs. You can create as many roles as necessary to match your company structure and organisational responsibilities, such as the following:

  1. Default User — The default user has full access to activites related to sales, and view-only access to Company Profile and Company Credit information.
  2. Managers — A manager may have access to sales resources and the ability to approve orders placed by others, view-only permissions to the Company Profile, Users and Teams, Payment Information, and Company Credit information.
  3. Installers — An installer within your company may have permissions to place an order, but those orders may need approval by a Manger if the order is over a set dollar amount. They may have view only access to their order and information about the company with no access to view Company Credit information.
