An admin (sometimes called a user but in terms of control panel the meaning is the same) is an entry within an account profile. Roughly, an admin (user) entry consists of personal information, email/password pair and a number of account/billing roles in CloudBlue Commerce control panel.
A number of admins may be registered for a single account without respect to the type of account (person or company). This allows granting several persons access to control panel with different permissions. The scope of access permissions is defined per role. A role defines what an admin can or cannot do in the control panel.
Registering a number of users within a single account makes sense in case your account represents company and registered users represent your staff members.
In case an account is personally yours, you still can register as many users as you want. For example, you can register a user and grant this user a read-only access permissions within your control panel.
In addition, a number of users registered for a single account allows registering domains for different users and thus, passing different contacts for domain owner or administrator to domain registrar.
Note: If non-Latin alphabet is used in your language, but it is necessary to enter contact information in Latin letters (ASCII), enter this information into the fields marked (ASCII). If such fields are absent, contact your vendor.
