Read this chapter to learn how to manage your Parallels accounts.
To view and modify the business profile of your organization, click the Business Profile item in the upper right hand corner. This opens the Business Profile page.
Click the Edit button to open the Edit Company Information dialog. You can modify any information on that page. When done, click Save.
The Membership area of the Business Profile page displays your role (e.g. Account Administrator) and the date your account membership began. The Leave This Business Account button allows you to terminate your business account membership. Please note that if you are the only administrator on this account, you must invite at least one more user to be an account administrator before you can leave the account.
The Account Admins section lists account administrators. For more information, see 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:
On the Dashboard, click Business Profile in the upper right and then click Users (also in the upper right).
The Business Account Users list is displayed:
Click Invite Users.
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.
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.
To promote a user to the administrator of a business account, you need to do the following:
Open the Business Account Users list (see above) and click the user name you want to promote.
The dialog displaying the user membership information opens.
Click the Role drop-down menu and select Account Administrator.
Use the Notes box to enter a note if desired and click Save to save the information.
You can block or remove a user from the business account:
When you block a user, the user's access to the account is revoked, but the user remains a member of the account and can be unblocked. You can use this functionality to temporarily block users when you need to perform maintenance of the account or some other similar task.
When you remove a user, they are completely removed from the business account. You can later invite the user to join the business account again if you wish.
To block or remove a user from the business account:
Make sure your business account is selected on the Dashboard and click Business Profile in the upper right.
Click Users in the upper right.
Click on a user name.
In the dialog that opens, click Block or Remove.
Click Save.
The user will receive an email with a message that their business account membership has been blocked or canceled. If you wish to unblock a user, repeat the steps above and click Unblock.
When you log in to Parallels My Account, you use your personal credentials. Once logged in, you can switch to your organization's accounts by clicking the drop-down menu in the upper left hand corner and choosing an account.
When you select an account, the Dashboard is automatically populated with Parallels product(s) registered with the account.
When you select a business account, the Business Profile item is added to the navigation area of the page.
