Account Master

An account master, as the name suggests, is a master account created by a CoreStack Product Admin for a customer, with an appropriate Admin role (Provider Admin or Delegation Admin) designated for it.

The Admin user from the customer side can then manage that account and perform required tasks or manage users as per their needs. For example, they can invite users, add or modify roles, etc. A Provider Admin can also create another Provider Admin based on their needs.

On the Account Management screen, a Provider Admin can view the list of existing account masters and can create a new account master.

Account Hierarchy

A Provider Admin is a new role type that can create account master(s), and can also manage the hierarchy as per a user's requirements. A Provider Admin can delegate a user to other Account Master(s) within the root account master.

A Provider Admin is added by a Product Admin. A Provider Admin is a designated person from the customer’s side of workforce. After a Provider Admin is created, they can add child accounts, add another Provider Admin, add account masters, and add new users.

By default, the Provider Admin can only access the Settings menu when logged into the product, including the Account Hierarchy sub-section.

Accessing and Switching Between Multiple Account Masters

An Admin user can have access to multiple account masters. When an Admin user accesses CoreStack, though they may have access to multiple accounts, they can select only one account master at a time and access it. An Admin user can be an Account Admin, Provider Admin, or Delegation Admin.

The Admin user can also switch between account masters while they are already accessing an account master. This enables the Admin user to access another account without logging off from the CoreStack application. After switching account masters, the corresponding tenant(s) for the selected account master is displayed on the screen and the Admin user can select another tenant at any time.

Perform the following steps to access an account master:

1. Access the CoreStack application.
2. In the Choose Account list, click to select an account master and click Apply.

The account master selected by the Admin user is displayed on the top of the screen and the mapped tenant(s) is also displayed next to it.

3. To switch to another account master, in the Account Master list, click to select another account master, then click Apply.

The tenant(s) corresponding to the selected account master will be displayed on the immediate right side.

4. To select another tenant for the account master that is displayed on the screen, in the Tenant list, click to select another tenant. The details on the screen are displayed for the selected tenant.

If there is a long list of account masters and the Admin wants to find a specific account, then they can use the Search box and type the name of the account master they are searching for. Similarly, while switching to another account master, the Admin user can type the account master they are searching for in the Search box to find an account.

Creating Account Master(s) from within Account Hierarchy

A Provider Admin can create multiple account master(s). After a Product Admin has added a new account master with the Provider Admin role, the new Provider Admin can then go ahead and add multiple account master(s) as per their organization hierarchy. A Provider Admin belongs to the customer side of the workforce. The Provider Admin can view the Settings menu on the left navigation pane and access any of the options within it. They do not have access to any other menu items.

In the example screenshot below, AccountmasterA is the account master at the top of a hierarchy that was added by a Product Admin initially. After this, the Provider Admin added AccountmasterB as a level one account master, and AccountmasterC as a level two account master.
