Create companies

Resellers can create a new user company (also known as a customer company), then sell to, or make purchases on behalf of, its members. When you create a new company, you invite its first user to join as the company’s administrator.

To create a company,

1. Go to:
   • Manage > Reseller > Home > Companies. The Companies page opens.
   • Manage > Reseller > Home > Users > New Lead or Purchase. The Purchase Setup page opens.
   • Manage > Reseller > Home > Companies > New Lead or Purchase. The Purchase Setup page opens.
2. Click Create New Company. The Create New Company dialog appears.
3. Create a new company and its first user account as follows:
   1. Enter the company name.
   2. (Optional) Select a business size.
   3. (Optional) Enter a contact phone number.
   4. Enter the first user's first name, last name, and email address. The company’s first user can be new to AppReseller, or can be a member of an existing company. This user becomes the new company's administrator, and can invite and manage the other users that join the company.
4. Click Create New Company. The following events occur:
   • The new company is created and appears in the table on the Companies page.
   • The company does not have any of the following Company Access permissions (a Reseller Manager can assign these later if needed):
     • Developer Access
     • Marketplace Access
     • Reseller Access
   • If the first user is new to AppReseller, a new user account is created, and he or she receives an email request to activate the account.
   • If the first user is an existing AppReseller user, he or she receives an email request to join the new company.
   • All new users that join the company are assigned the User role. This basic role allows them to have a Reseller make purchases on their behalf.
