Account administrator
Account administrators have a navigation tab named "Users", where users on the account can be managed. Account administrators can accept new user requests, remove users and determine user account permissions (e.g. the ability to create an order).
By default, when an account administrator accepts a new user, all permissions are set to "on." Simply click on the box under the topic area to turn off permissions. When permissions are turned off, users will not see navigation tabs or have the ability to complete that task or option.
Account administrators are assigned by FedEx Custom Critical. If you are interested in being your account's administrator, you can contact your sales representative or call customer service at 1.800.762.3787.
