# Inviting users to join a business account

As the administrator of a business account, you can invite other users in your organization to join it. Once a user joins the account, you can grant them rights to manage all or specific license keys.

To invite a user to join the business account:

1. On the **Dashboard**, click **Business Profile** in the upper right and then click **Users** (also in the upper right).

2. The **Business Account Users** list is displayed:

3. Click **Invite Users**.
4. In the dialog that opens, select a language of invitation, then type the email address of a user and click **Add**. You can invite more than one user at the same time. Once the list of users is complete, click the **Send Invitations** button.

When a user receives the email, it will contain instructions and a link to join the business account. Clicking on the link will open the following Parallels My Account dialog in a web browser:

If the user already has a personal account, he/she will need to enter their current password. If the user doesn't have an account, they must choose and type a password to create a personal account. The user then clicks **Join account** to join and log in to Parallels My Account.

## **Types of business account membership**

There are two types of business account membership:

* **Regular Member**. When a user accepts the invitation, they are initially granted privileges of a regular member. A regular member cannot manage any of the subscriptions or licenses and must be either promoted to the account administrator (see below for details) or granted rights to manage a particular license key (see **Managing License Administrators**).
* **Account Administrator**. An account administrator has full privileges to manage all of the available subscriptions and licenses.

## **Promoting a user to account administrator**

To promote a user to the administrator of a business account, you need to do the following:

1. Open the **Business Account Users** list (see above) and click the user name you want to promote.
2. The dialog displaying the user membership information opens.
