Adding a New User

The user is usually an employee. However, they have additional permissions represented in their ability to manage the account as a delegate for the manager (owner). The account manager, in turn, determines these permissions based on the employee’s staff role. Refer to The difference between an employee and a user in Daftra for further clarification.
