Account owner

This is an administrator whose skills and experience allow for greater permissions and who maintains all user permissions available on the account. It cannot be deleted by any other user. If an account feature is added to the account, the account owner automatically has access to the feature. Any other users must be granted access as desired by the account owner.

All subsequent access to the customer’s account is managed by the account owner or administrators designated by the account owner.
