Most Article Forge accounts are meant for individual use. To add multiple users to your account, you will need to be on a 500,000 words/month plan.
The 500,000 words/month plans include 3 user seats and support the purchase of as many additional seats as you would like.
Each additional user seat will have their own login information but will be a part of the main account.
When an Account Owner (or Admin) adds a new user, they will set that user’s account access (and restrictions) based on the roles described below:
Account Owner
- The owner of the account is an Admin and is the designated point of contact for the account.
Admin
- Includes all Biller permissions.
- Admins have complete account control, including adding, editing, and removing users as well as canceling the account subscription.
Biller
- Includes all Manager permissions.
- Billers can allow overage usage, purchase prepaid words, convert trial subscription to paid subscription, edit billing and company information, and alter the account subscription.
- Billers cannot add, edit, or remove other accounts, and cannot cancel the account subscription.
Manager
- Includes all Creator permissions.
- Managers can use all article creation features, including: creating articles in bulk, adding, editing, and removing blogs; creating, editing, and deleting post schedulers; and viewing the API key and documentation.
- Managers do not have access to any billing information including allowing overage usage, purchasing prepaid words, adding additional users, or altering the account subscription.
Specialist
