Managing users
Add users
- From the client list > Quick Actions
> Invite a User - Enter the name and email for the person you want to add.
- Click Send
Your user will get an email from us which they’ll need to read. Inside the email there will be a link they’ll need to click to verify their email address. They’ll also receive information about how to get started with Accounting Partner Edition.
Note: If you receive an error message saying “the email address you entered is already linked to an existing account. please enter a different email address”, this means that the user you want to invite is already an additional user or business owner on another Sage account. To resolve this you can either use a different email address or ask the owner of the other Sage account to delete this email address from their additional users list.
Once you’ve added them, you’ll be able to change what they have access to. Take a look at the section ‘Change a user’s access’.
