Account Owner

The Account Owner (formerly known as the Primary Admin) is the person who set up the account and can access and manage all areas of the Tithely Dashboard. There is only one Account Owner per account.

The Account Owner can perform the following actions:

• Access the Billing and Subscription Tab to update the credit card details used for subscriptions and edit their subscription requirements.
• Access the Users menu item, which is where you can manage the roles that administrators have.
• Edit Account details under Edit Organization, Edit Brand, and Update Legal and Bank Information.
