Managing your account and users

When you open an account with ExtraFax Cloud, a user is automatically created and assigned ‘Account Manager’ permissions. Further users can then be added under the account, each with their own permission settings.

In the above screenshot, we can see the ‘Account Manager’ user ‘extracomm’.

Accounts can be given specific settings and users can be assigned individual services (send faxes, receive faxes) and user options, furthermore documents can be shared between users or groups of users and individual permissions assigned universally or per users, all according to your requirements.

Once logged in as an account manager, there are two sets of additional tabs available, ‘Account Management’ and ‘Account Settings’.
