Manage User Levels in Your Account

User Levels

• Owner
  The Owner serves as the primary contact for the account. Owners and Admins have all the same permissions.
• Admin
  The Admin can perform all actions in the account, including inviting new users, editing billing information, and closing the account.
• Manager
  The Manager can create and send campaigns, import lists, and view reports, but can't view billing information, export lists, or close the account.
• Author
  The Author can create, edit, and delete campaigns, templates, and Automation workflows, and view reports.
• Viewer 
  The Viewer can view reports in the account. 

Grant Account Access

The Account users page displays the names, usernames, and user levels for everyone with access to your MailChimp account. From this page, you can revoke access, view pending account invitations, and re-send or cancel invitation emails.

Invite a User

1. Click your profile name and choose Account.
   
2. Click the Settings drop-down menu and choose  Users.  
   
3. Click Invite A User.
4. Input the email address of the person you want to grant access to and choose an option under User type. Add a message to share instructions or other information for that person.
5. Click Send Invite.

The email invitation asks the recipient to join your account under the user level you selected. The recipient can create a new username and password, or log in with their existing MailChimp account. To better protect accounts with multiple users, add two-factor authentication to your MailChimp account with Google Authenticator.

Troubleshoot a User Invite

If you've sent an invitation email to add a user to your account but the email hasn't arrived in their inbox, there are a few things that could be going on. Here are a few common issues with email account invitations and some tips on how to troubleshoot.

• The address contained errors or was mistyped.
  Make sure you typed the correct address when you sent the invitation.
• The email is still in transit.
  Depending on internet traffic and how busy the recipient's ISP is, it can take a couple hours for emails to arrive. This is more likely to happen around holidays and peak sending times.
• The email is getting trapped by spam filters.
  Ask the recipient to check their junk or spam folder to see if the activation email landed there. If it's not there, it may still be getting blocked at the server level. Resend to an alternate email address, or ask the recipient talk to their server administrator.
• The email is being blocked by a corporate firewall.
  Corporate email servers sometimes have firewalls, which block certain emails for security reasons and to prevent spam. See if your recipient has an alternate address that you could send to, or ask them to check with their server administrator to see if they need to get MailChimp's servers whitelisted.

Change Account Access

An Admin can change a user's level of access from the Users page in their account.

1. Click your profile name and choose Account.
   
2. Click the Settings drop-down menu and choose Users.
   
3. Click Edit for the user whose access level you want to change.
   
4. Choose the level of access you'd like to grant this user, and click Save.

Transfer Account Ownership

You can transfer ownership of an account to any Admin on your account. After you’ve made a user an Admin following the steps above, repeat the process to change their user level to Owner and click Save. The previous Owner's user level will automatically revert to Admin.

Remove Account Access

Owners and Admins can revoke access to users at any time, while Mangers, Authors, and Viewers can only revoke their own access.

Revoke Access (Owner or Admin)

Anyone with Admin permissions can delete any other user's access. If an Admin wants to revoke their own access, a different account Admin or the Owner will need to revoke access.

1. Click your profile name and choose Account.
   
2. Click the Settings drop-down menu and choose Users.
   
3. Click the Revoke Access button for the user you want to remove.
4. In the pop-up modal, click Yes, Delete User.

Revoke Your Own Access 

When you leave an account, your profile is completely deleted and you can no longer access the account. If this is the only account you have access to, your username and password will stop working on the login page. To permanently revoke your own access, follow these steps. 

1. Click your profile name and choose Profile.
2. In the  Connections and notifications  section, find the account you want to leave and click Leave Account.
