A user’s role in the Admin Console determines what actions the user can perform in an account. There are four roles available:
- Account Owner – An Account Owner is the primary point of contact for an account, can perform all actions, and view all account information. Each account can only have one Account Owner.
- Secondary Account Owner – A Secondary Account Owner can perform all actions the account owner can perform except changing the Account Owner. Each account can have any number of users with the Secondary Account Owner role.
- License Admin – A License Admin can add users and assign users product licenses.
- Product User – A Product User can be assigned product licenses but does not have access to the Admin Console and cannot perform any administrative actions.
