• Accounts in CarbonView are used to represent groupings of entities. e.g. An individual business unit or a collection of entities that are similar.
• The purpose of Accounts is to enable Restricted Users to only have access to the entities designated within an Account that they have been assigned to.
• Accounts are setup in CarbonView's Account Register and assigned to Restricted Users.
• Note: A Restricted User cannot login to CarbonView unless they have been assigned to an Account.
• Admin users create and manage accounts.

Admin users navigate to Admin menu > Users > Manage Accounts
