Adding Associates in Account Management Service

note

Account Management API is now deprecated and we recommend that you use Account Management functionality built into Elastic Path Commerce 8.2 and later.

Each account in the Account Management service is associated with a set of users. A user might have different roles in different accounts, however the roles are not inherited within the account hierarchy.

1. In the Account Management home page, click Accounts.

   All top-level accounts configured for the buyer organizations appear.

2. To add associate to an account, double-click the account name.

   A page with the details of all accounts within the selected account and options to add associate appear.

3. Click Add associate.

4. To add an associate to a sub-account, click the sub-account and then click Add associate.

   The Add associate dialog box with the name of the selected sub-account and the top-level account of the sub-account appears.

5. In the Associate email field, enter the email address of the associate.

6. In the Role, field, select one of the following:

   • Buyer
   • Buyer admin
   • Catalog browser

   For more information about the roles, see the roles section.

7. Click Save.
