<p>Every Network Solutions account allows you to enhance security and delegate tasks efficiently. You can add sub-users to your account by assigning specific roles and permissions to manage details such as domains, websites, and DNS settings. This guide explains how to create, remove, and manage account contacts, as well as the different levels of permissions available.</p>

<p>It’s important for account owners to understand the specific capabilities and responsibilities of each user role before granting permissions. Doing so ensures proper access control and helps maintain account security. Below are the defined roles and permissions for each type of account contact or user:</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Primary</strong>: Has full control over the account. This role can manage billing, update account and contact details, add or remove users, purchase and renew products, and modify domain and WHOIS information. Essentially, the Primary Contact oversees all aspects of the account.</li>
	<li><strong>Admin</strong>: Can manage domains, websites, and billing-related tasks such as renewing services and purchasing new products. However, this role cannot change/edit/update domains' registrant contact details. The Admin Contact mainly handles operational and maintenance tasks within the account.</li>
	<li><strong>Tech</strong>: Focuses on the technical management of domains and websites. A Tech Contact can edit and manage site settings, update DNS, renew hosting packages, and update technical WHOIS information, but does not have access to billing or account holder information.
	<div class="alert alert-info"><strong>Note</strong>:
	<ul>
		<li>If you have a web developer and want to give them access to edit or manage your website without granting full account access, assigning them this role is ideal. Their permissions are also revocable at any time.</li>
		<li>If you have a web developer who is managing or making changes to your website, Network Solutions supports account delegation. This allows you to create an account with limited permissions without the need to provide your credentials.
