Account Settings Tile

Depending upon your company's business needs and the rights associated with your e-info login, your e-info home page may display an Account settings tile with up to two links: Payment methods and Users.

With the appropriate e-info rights, you can use this tile to:

Manage payment methods

Manager e-info users

Using the first link on this tile, you can add new payment methods, change existing payment methods, and delete payment methods.
Note: You can also manage payment methods via the Invoices tile.

Using the second link on this tile, you can add and/or change user accounts.  In each user account, you specify contact information, mailing address information, the customer location(s) to which the user has access, the area(s) of e-info the user may access when logged into e-info, and the password that the user will use—together with the email address you include in the contact information—to log into the e-info web site.
Note: You cannot delete a user account, but you can change a user account to make it inactive.  Inactive user accounts are not counted in the total displayed on the Account setting tile.
