Account Questions

Question: Can more than one person use an account?

Answer: Multiple individuals can be registered to the same docmetrics account. Additional users can be added to an account at any time by account administrators.

Question: What is the difference between an administrator and a user?

Answer: Docmetrics is a role-based system. Every user who is added to an account will be assigned a particular role.

When an individual registers for a docmetrics account, that person becomes an administrator of the account. An administrator of a docmetrics account is able to add new individuals to the account and label each as either a user or an administrator.

Administrators are the only individuals registered to an account who can add new users, assign roles and manage other important aspects of the account.
