Overview

This article is intended to explain the difference between Account Owners and Administrators. You can learn more about user roles and their respective rights in the User Roles and Permissions article.

Account Owner

An Account Owner has login access to the Siteimprove platform. They can add, edit and delete users, administrators and other account owners. Only Account Owners can add or delete a site on the account. If you want to edit a current URL then please contact Technical Support.

Administrator

An Administrator has login access to the Siteimprove platform. They can add, edit and delete users and other Administrators but not Account Owners.
