Contacts/Sub-Accounts

Should you want to permit others access to certain aspects of your account or to act on your behalf, you can create contacts or sub-accounts. This is useful, for instance, if you have developers that may need to interact with our support department.

Note: If a person contacts on your behalf and is not listed as a contact or sub-account associated with your account, we cannot disclose sensitive information pertaining to your account.

Contacts are people to whom you have granted privileges to act on your behalf. Unless you share your login credentials for the client area—which is strongly discouraged—contacts do not have access to your billing control panel.

Sub-accounts serve the same purpose as contacts, but are assigned their own login username and password. This permits them to login to the client area with limited access to act on your behalf. At the time a sub-account is created, you will be given the opportunity to define what areas of the client area the user has access to.
