When you open an account with InterFAX, a user is automatically created and assigned the ‘Account Manager’ level of permissions, account managers can then add further users under an account.Account managers may add users, view user profiles, view user inboxes, manage user groups, manage a user’s permissions, force user password resets and close users.
In the above screenshot, we can see the ‘Account Manager’ user ‘InterFAX_Test’
and a second user ‘SharedTestUser’, which has been added under the account.
Users can be assigned individual services (send faxes, receive faxes) and personalised options, furthermore documents can be shared between users or groups of users and individual permissions assigned.
