Use the Users menu to view and add users, view and add roles, or change role membership. You must be a site search/merchandising user with administrator privileges to perform any of the tasks on the Users menu.
You can use the View Users page to view all existing account users. You can also remove account users (except for the account owner).
Only account users with User Admin checked can remove users or modify user roles.
Before you can remove an account owner, transfer the account ownership to another user.
After you have transferred ownership, you can remove an account like any other user. Removed users receive an e-mail that notifies them of the change in status.
See Transferring account ownership to another account user.

You can use the Add Users page to add new account users to site search/merchandising.
Only the new user’s e-mail address is required. When the new user is added to the account, the new user is sent the account information.
By default a new user is not assigned as a User Administrator. User Administrator’s can define and edit roles, and remove other users. You can choose to make a new user a User Administrator from the Add Users page. Or, you can use the View Users page to make the new user a User Administrator.
The e-mail address that you specify must contain ASCII characters only. Use standard alphabetic (a…z) characters or numeric (0…9) characters with exactly one @
character used to separate the user name from the domain. The characters _
, +
, -
, .
, !
, #
, $
, '
, %
, &
, *
, =
, ?
, ^
, {
, and }
are also allowed. Do not start the e-mail address with .
If the new user is not an Adobe customer already, you are prompted to create a customer login for that person. The new user is sent a login password and confirmation. When the new user logs in for the first time, they fill out a customer profile.
You can optionally click a hyperlinked role name on the Add Users page. The Role Membership page is opened where you can assign users to roles or you can unassign users from roles.

Each role name must be unique. You can use alphanumeric characters and common symbols, including dashes "-"
, underscores "_"
, and periods "."
. The name cannot begin with either an underscore or a period.
