Terms itself are self-explanatory, If you want to assign the same level of access to the new user as you have then choose the Edit option, If you’re going to allow them to create dashboards and set goals, then go for Collaborate. By granting Read & Analyze permission allows the user to analyze the reposts. While Manage User permissions allow that user to add, delete users and change their permission. Choose the desired level of permission and click on Add button.
On click, an invitation email will be sent to the new user that they have to accept, and after that, they will become a member of that account. In the “Account User Management“, you can also delete them and can also change the level of permissions assigned to them by clicking on the three dots.
