Manage User Accounts

Last Updated: Oct 02, 2012 03:46PM PDT

Note: This is for Premium Business subscribers only

The subscriber of a Premium Business account may create and manage multiple user accounts. These user accounts are assigned different roles that define their permissions within the Premium Business account. Each user account logs in through the same manner as the subscriber using a user name and password.

All user accounts are considered "trusted" users. While these user accounts may have different sets of privileges, defined by their roles, all user accounts can view all photos including protected photos (in the Edit view or in the Visitor view) as well as download originals. All user accounts may also place orders at base prices.

Once a user account is created (see below) and activated by the user, accounts can be modified by the Subscriber and Partner user account. Beyond modifying the full name, e-mail, user name, and role, here are other options:

User Account Roles

The following roles will be available for subscriber to assign to user accounts:

Partner

Partners have full access to all account areas except for making changes to the subscription level and personal profile information. Partners may also create other user accounts.

Assistant

Assistants have access to most account features, including managing all photos and galleries, changing the ownership of photos, selling features, shared favorites, and clients list. However, assistants cannot customize the website or manage user accounts.

Photographer

Photographers can manage all account photos and galleries, but they have no access to selling features, website customization, or changing the ownership of photos.

Contributing Photographer

Contributing photographers can manage photos only within the assigned groups or galleries. They cannot customize the website and have no access to clients list, shared favorites, or selling features. They do not have access to e-mail communication features, contact list, and shared favorites.

Accountant

Accountants can only access the account statement, selling reports, and subscription information. Accountants cannot manage photos.

User Accounts with the role of Partner, Assistant, or Photographer will have full management access to all groups, galleries, and photos, regardless of ownership. For these roles, setting ownership is only for tracking purposes. When a Contributing Photographer assigned as an owner, the user will be able to create galleries, upload photos, edit captions, and change watermarks, as well as delete and move items. Accountants cannot manage photos, regardless of this setting.

  1. Select the ownership of groups and galleries.
  2. If an owner is already assigned, photo ownership may be overridden by checking "Change owner for photos contained in the selected galleries."
  3. Click Continue. Send Activation E-mail window will load.
