Permissions
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| Master Control | Users with Master Control have all of the permissions the primary account user has, including the ability to manage website logins and change profile information such as the primary email address and phone number for the account. Master Control users do not receive certain types of account notifications that go only to the primary user (e.g., user code changes and invalid email addresses for secondary contacts). |
| Full Control | Users with Full Control have all of the Full Control permissions described in the Custom permissions section, along with most of the website and mobile app functionality available to the primary account user. They do not have the ability to manage website logins, and they do not receive certain types of account notifications that go only to the primary user (e.g., user code changes and invalid email addresses for secondary contacts). |

These users cannot see the Manage Logins page. |
