What can an Individual do?
An individual:
- May have login credentials
- May have billing access and responsibilities. You can add your accountant or finance team for billing access.
- May have administrator access and responsibilities
- May have restricted access to only certain companies within your account.
- May be legal counsel to receive notice of lawsuit from your registered agent service
- May be a shareholder, director, officer, member, manager, or other key person in Records Manager
- May have their individual licenses tracked in License Manager
You have control over how you set up access, permissions, and notifications for each individual. You are not required to use any of the advanced features. The easiest way to get started is to add the people you want to log in to your shared account.
Why give an Individual user access?
We recommend granting software access to at least two Individuals, preferably three or more. There is no cost for doing so, and having multiple Individuals with User access provides business continuity if one person is unavailable or leaves the company.
Having an extra person notified if your company receives notice of a lawsuit is especially important because you have a limited amount of time (normally days) to respond to avoid a default judgment.
