Admin and Co-Admin users can create, update, and delete other user accounts within an AlertSite account. Company employees who need access to their company’s AlertSite account should contact their account Admin or Co-Admin to get a user account.

Note: Admin users can also configure AlertSite for using single sign-on. For details, see Configure Single Sign-On in AlertSite.
