Managing Business Accounts

When you register with ZapWorks you'll be asked to create an account, the following article discusses the management of Business accounts.

Creating Additional Accounts

Additional accounts can be created from the ZapWorks homepage by selecting 'Add Account' from the top menu and choosing the account type.

The Add Account button located in the top menu.

Users can create one Personal account and as many Business accounts as they please.

Business accounts require at least one Seat to be purchased in order to be used. Seats from existing accounts do not carry over as they are tied to the account.

Adding and Removing Users

Users can be added and removed from Business accounts from the Team Management page, accessible from the Settings menu.

To add a user select 'Invite User', enter the email address of the user you wish to invite and then click the 'Invite User' button. You can also set the user as an Admin, for more information see our article on Account Admins.

The Invite User button in Team Management.

An email will then be sent to the user alerting them they've been invited to the account, which they can then access by signing in to ZapWorks. If they are not already registered then they will be prompted to do so before accepting the invitation.

If an account has more than 10 Seats then the 'Invite User' window will allow multiple email addresses to be entered at once, separated by a new line.

Users can be removed by clicking the 'Remove' button next to their email address.
