Creating and Managing a Sub Account

We currently allow two free sub-accounts/employee accounts to be created with your InventoryLab membership!

Many Users choose to create one for the people that List/Source and the other for the people needing access to their Accounting information.

Multiple people can sign into the main account and each sub-account at the same time.

You are also able to select the amount of access you want the accounts to have.

Adding a sub-account

Editing or deleting a sub-account

To manage your sub-accounts, click on your name in the upper right-hand corner and select My Account from the dropdown menu.

Next, scroll to the Employees section.  The number of used sub-accounts will be displayed next to the section name.

Adding a sub-account

To create a new sub-account, click Add Employee.

Or, if you haven't added a sub-account yet, click Add Your First! to create one.

Enter the employee's first and last name, email address, and select which menus you'd like them to have access to. 

Available menus:

• Dashboard
• Research
  • Scout
  • Scout History
• List
  • List & Prep
  • Closed Batches
  • Amazon Listing Errors

If you want the employee to have access to all menus in your account, click the Full Access toggle.

Once you've made your selections, click Submit to proceed or click Cancel to go back.

This will generate an activation link to the email address provided for the sub-account.

If needed, you can resend the activation link by clicking the green mail icon under Actions.

Please keep in mind that sending new activation links will automatically make all the previously sent activation links invalid.

From there, the employee will need to check their email and follow the link to activate the sub-account. 

In the activation process, they will set up their password, name, etc.  Once this information has been entered, they'll need to click Activate Account.

Once these steps have been completed, the employee will immediately have access and will be able to log into the account. 

You can also edit/delete the sub-account should you need to do so. 

Editing or deleting a sub-account

To edit a sub-account, click the pencil icon under Actions.

You can then edit the employee's first and last name, email address, and change which menus you want them to have access to. 

Once you've made your changes, click Submit to proceed or click Cancel to go back.

To delete a sub-account, click the trash can icon under Actions.

When asked if you are sure, click YES to proceed with deleting the sub-account or click NO to go back.

A few things to keep in mind about sub-accounts:

• Multiple people can sign into the main account and each sub-account at the same time.
• Deleting sub-accounts cannot be undone, but you can always add them again.
• An email address can only be used once in InventoryLab's system.  (If the employee's email address has already been used for a different main account or sub-account, it will not be able to be used to create an additional account.)
