Understanding User Roles

There are four types of users on an account:

  • Admin
  • Standard
  • Basic
  • Template

Typically, the person who creates the Esendex account becomes an Admin user. Admin users on an account can create additional users, and control their access to the system.

Here is a quick summary of the different roles available:

User Role Capabilities
Admin User has full access to all applications and all application features. This includes ability to change account settings, create sub-accounts, create, manage and delete users.
Standard User has full access to all application features but is not able to change account settings and create, manage or delete users.
Basic User can send free type messages and predefined message templates but is not able to use our bulk send feature. This user can view inbox and sent items but is not able to create, manage or delete templates, or access the settings.
Template User can only send predefined templates. This user can view the inbox and sent items but is not able to create, manage or delete templates or access the settings.

Here is an overview of the most important features available to each user role within the Esendex system:
