6. Click Save.

Once the new user information has been saved, an invitation will be emailed to the address entered. The user is  prompted, via the invite, to accept and agree to the terms of service and privacy policy.

Re-send an account user invitation

You can re-send an invitation to a previously added account user. This is helpful if the original invite was lost or accidentally deleted.

1. Sign in to Authorized Buyers.

2. ​Click  Admin Account users.

3. Select the user, with Status "Pending", from the list of "Account users".

4. Click "Re-invite".
   
   You can only re-send invites to pending users. To edit or enable an account user, see Manage account users.

New user accounts are pending until the user clicks to accept the email invitation, enters the requested credentials, and accepts the terms of service and privacy policy.
