Account Workspace
The Accounts Workspace allows users to administer their account and view detailed account information. Users can:
- Make Payment
- Set your language
- Change password or email address
- Add and remove users from account
- Retrieve receipts
Account Group vs Project Access:
There is a difference between adding someone to your account group and adding someone to your project.
Adding Someone to a Project
When you add someone to a project:
- You are inviting them to collaborate on that specific project
- You are not responsible for their fees or subscription
- Their billing remains tied to their own account/account group
Project access controls collaboration only. It does not impact billing.
Adding Someone to an Account Group
When you add someone to your account group:
- You become responsible for their associated fees
- Billing for that user is consolidated under the group
Being in the same account group:
- Does not grant access to any projects
- Does not change existing project permissions
Account groups impact billing only, not access to projects.
Key Points & Takeaways
- Account groups exist solely to consolidate billing
- Project access must always be granted by the project creator
- Users do not need to be in the same account group to collaborate on a project
- Users in the same account group do not automatically see or access each other’s projects
- The student rate cannot be applied to account groups. Student pricing is available only for individual accounts that qualify for the student rate.
