Company Users

The individuals who are associated with a company are represented in the Customers grid by the customer type, Company User, and are typically buyers with varying levels of permission to access store services and resources.

Company Structure with Teams of Users

Company users are assigned by the company administrator, and are visible from the Admin in the Customers grid. For each user, the company administrator first sets up the company structure, and then completes the following tasks, as needed:

• Create company users and assign users to teams

• Define roles and permissions, and assign users to roles

Add company users
