For every account in SPS Analytics, there will be at least one user assigned as the Administrator (Admin) for that account.

This user has the capability to add or remove users on the account, assign user type status, edit product permissions, and specify what trading partner data to have access to.

During the implementation process, SPS will help set up and create new users, however with any turnover or new hires in your company, the Admin users will be responsible for removing or adding those users.

This article includes:


How to Add a New User
