Inviting Users to Join a Business Account

Administrators of business accounts can invite other users in their organizations to join their accounts. 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 page, 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. Repeat for more users as needed. 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 the 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 administer all of the available subscriptions and licenses.

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

1. Open the Business Account Users list (see above) and click the username you want to promote.

2. The dialog displaying the user membership information opens.

   
3. Click the Role drop-down menu and select Account Administrator.

4. Use the Notes box to enter a note if desired and click Save to save the information.

The user would need to log off and then log on again for the new role to take effect.
