A manager account can be the owner of a linked client account. Owners have permissions to take additional actions in the client account, but the client account still owns its data and has the ability to remove ownership access.
A client account can only have one direct owner. If a manager creates a new sub-account, the manager will automatically be the owner of that sub-account. However, if a manager links an existing client account, the manager won't become the owner of that client account by default. The client account must enable ownership for the manager account.
An owner of an owner of a sub-account also has ownership of that sub-account.
Owner access to the client account
Users with an Admin role for the owner account have access to additional features in the client account:
- Edit users with "Admin" access
- Remove users
- Accept or decline link requests
- Unlink other manager accounts
- Adjust security settings
