Account

In unroole cms the term account can often be confused with an admin profile. An account is simply a logical segregation of shared data and content. All data or content stored on an account cannot be used by any other account in the system. In fact an account should be thought of as more of an account in the buisness sense. Take the following example:

• Company A has business arrangements with other companies B,C,D
• The other companies do not want their information shared with eachother
• Therefore company A sets up one 'Account' for each company in the system and gives each the level of access required to manage their content.

Accounts can be used a create a nice logical seperate of the data and content owned by a single entity. Of course an account can be used for any number of purposes as you see fit.

Additional options can also be configured eithier during creation or afterwards such as Vanity Domains and an account logo.
