An Owner is a special user, also called Administrator in ArchiOffice Online, who has abilities that no other user has, with full security permissions to access and use all features of ArchiOffice Online. This Owner manages the company file, online account, users and access level of each employee/consultant, deciding on the balance of permissions that will maximize each user's interaction with ArchiOffice Online, while also protecting sensitive information and functionality. By default, your email ID is registered as the Owner of the company and then lets you add other users as either Administrator or Standard user type.
An ArchiOffice Online Owner or Administrator can create an online account and set up the company data file. He or she needs to log in to the application using the right credentials - Email ID and Password. After logging in, the Owner can then buy licenses, add company database and assign users for ArchiOffice Online. When you add new users, you can designate them as an Administrator or a Standard user. ArchiOffice Online sets up these users with a pre-defined security profile in the application. However, you can change their permissions for the application using the Preferences screen within it. While the owner has full rights for the online account as well as the application, users with administrator rights have advanced permissions with some exceptions and standard users have limited access. Only an Owner can add a new company database and, in case of multiple companies, view the list of companies.
The ArchiOffice Online Owner or Administrator sets up the company file and assigns passwords and access rights to the users from the Preferences screen in the application. Only he or she can grant and terminate security permissions to other users, set the company preferences and other company-wide settings. There are other tasks that only the Owner (or in some cases the Administrators) should do:
Set up or change security permissions for the users
Change company related information such as company name or address
Add or manage users and licenses
Set up the company data file
