User profiles and roles

Learn how user profiles and user roles work in eHive.

About user profiles

When you create an eHive account, you also create a user profile.

Every eHive account has at least one user profile. If you are on the Silver, Gold, or Platinum plan, you can have more user profiles.

Each user profile has its own login details (email address and password). Many people can log into and share a user profile. So there is no limit to how many people can use your eHive account at the same time.

About user roles

User profiles must belong to one of these user roles:

Admin
