Manage users

AppReseller user and company accounts are tightly associated and have a number of dependencies:

• Each registered user must be a member of least one company—user accounts cannot exist without a company association.
• Users can be members of multiple companies.
• Each company must have at least one registered user, though most companies have multiple users.
• A company can exist only as long as it has at least one associated user account.

Because of these dependencies, the workflow to create a company also requires the creation of its first associated user account. In most cases, this first user is assigned the Company Administrator role. Typically, Company Administrators then invite their coworkers to join their company and create individual user accounts.

In general, users are managed by Resellers and Reseller Managers from the Users page at one of the following locations:

• Manage > Reseller > Home | Users. The Users page contains a table that lists all users to which a Reseller is connected. The connection is created by a Reseller at the company level, either by the Reseller being a member of the same company, or the company (and its members) being created by the Reseller. Resellers can sell to, or purchase products on behalf of, all users listed on the Users page.
• Manage > Reseller > Partners > Partners | Reseller Users. The Reseller Users page contains a table that lists all Resellers to which a Reseller Manager is connected. These Resellers are the users that are members of the Reseller Manager's AppReseller instance. The Reseller Manager can view and manage individual details of these Resellers, and details about the business they are conducting.
