=== Configuration options and settings ===

Within the Partner Portal, the following '''bold''' features can be configured for user management:

It is important to note that while these admin users have extensive access, they cannot edit primary admin details.

=== Best practices and tips ===

When managing admin users in the Partner Portal, consider the following best practices:

* **Multiple Admins**: Always have multiple account admins instead of sharing one set of login credentials to maintain security.
* **Regular Updates**: Regularly update user information and passwords to prevent unauthorized access.
* **Audit Logs**: Keep track of user activities for accountability, especially if multiple users have admin-level access.
* **Prompt Communication**: When sharing login credentials or making updates, promptly inform your team members to ensure they remain informed.

=== Common use cases with examples ===

Below are some common scenarios where managing admin users effectively can be beneficial:

* **Team Collaboration**: For agencies with multiple teams working on different projects, having designated admin users allows for clearer responsibility and task delegation.
* **Security Protocols**: In organizations worried about security, removing access for employees who no longer require it or who leave the organization helps protect sensitive information.
* **User Updates**: Updating user information immediately when changes occur can minimize confusion and ensure smooth continuity in operations among team members.

=== Troubleshooting section ===

If you encounter issues while managing users in the Partner Portal, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

* **Unable to Add User**: Ensure you have the necessary permissions within your account to add new users.
* **Edit Function Not Working**: Confirm that the user profile you are attempting to edit exists and that you have adequate access rights.
