Introduction
Adding users to your Hapn account allows you to share tracking data with team members, clients, or family members while maintaining control over what they can see and do. This guide will walk you through managing users on your account, from adding new users to controlling their access permissions.
Understanding User Roles
Hapn offers three types of user roles with different permission levels:
- Account Owner: The primary account holder with full access to all features and settings
- Admin: Trusted users who can manage most account settings but cannot make billing changes
- Collaborator: Standard users who can view and interact with trackers but have limited administrative abilities
For a detailed comparison of permissions by role, see the User Role Permissions Comparison section below.
