# Create Account + Add Users

## Creating and Managing Accounts

**Goal:** Set up your nativeMsg account, invite your team, and manage sub-accounts with the right permissions.\
**Estimated Time:** 10–15 minutes

***

### What This Covers

* Creating your main account
* Adding and managing sub-accounts (team users)
* Updating or removing users
* Permissions and access control

***

### ✨ Overview

Each organization on nativeMsg starts with a **main account** (the admin) — usually your primary onboarding contact. From there, you can add **sub-accounts** for teammates who need access to Bots, Conversations, Blasts, and other sections of the platform.

> 💡 *Think of sub-accounts as team user profiles — each with their own login and permissions.*

***

### 🆕 Creating Your Main Account

1. **Check your email for an invitation from nativeMsg.**\
   Your Customer Success Manager will send this during onboarding.
2. **Click “Accept Invitation.”**\
   This link will take you to your organization’s nativeMsg login page.
3. **Create your password.**\
   Use a strong, unique password.

   > 💡 *For security, do not reuse credentials from other platforms.*
4. **Confirm your organization details.**\
   Check that your company name and email domain are correct.
5. **Log in to your dashboard.**\
   Once inside, you’ll see your **Settings** menu — this is where you’ll manage users and permissions.

### 👥 Adding Sub-Accounts (Team Users)

A **sub-account** is a user you create in nativeMsg with customizable permissions.\
Sub-accounts are ideal for teammates who handle specific areas like campaign management, compliance, or development.

#### Steps to Add a Sub-Account

1. Go to **Settings → Manage Sub-Accounts**.
2. Click **New Sub-Account**.
3. In the **Create Sub Account** window, enter:
   * Full name
   * Email address
   * Role (optional)
4. Click **Save**.

✅ *The new sub-account is now active and, by default, has full access permissions.*

> 💬 *You can customize permissions right after adding the user.*

### ✏️ Updating Permissions

Each sub-account can have different access levels for platform features such as Bots, Conversations, and Blasts.

1. Go to **Settings → Manage Sub-Accounts**.
2. In the **Search Sub Account** field, enter the user’s name.
3. Click **Update**.
4. Under **Permissions Settings**, use the **Update Sections** dropdown to:
   * **Select All** → grant full access
   * **Deselect All** → remove all access
   * Or choose specific modules to allow (e.g., Conversations, Blasts)
5. Click **Done** to save.

> ⚙️ *Example: Give your marketing team access to Blasts, while limiting configuration access to admins.*

### ❌ Deleting a Sub-Account

If someone leaves your organization or no longer needs access:

1. In **Settings → Manage Sub-Accounts**, search for the user.
2. Click **Delete Sub Account.**
3. Confirm by clicking **Yes** in the pop-up message.

🚨 *Deleting a user immediately removes all permissions and access.*

***

### 🔍 Searching for Users

* Use the **Search Sub Account** field to find users.
* Type at least 3 characters to see matching results.
