# Team Accounts

### Why Use Team Accounts?

* Avoid **insecure password sharing**
* Assign fine-grained permissions
* Maintain control over sensitive areas (e.g., billing, refunds, customer data)
* All activity is tied to an individual account for accountability

> **Security Tip:**\
> Always enable **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)** on both your **Tebex account** and **email provider**.

### How to Add a Team Member

1. Ask the user to create their own Tebex account.
2. In your **Tebex Control Panel**, go to **Settings** > **Team**.
3. Click **Add Your First Team Account** or **Add Team Account**.
4. Enter the user’s **email address**.
5. Assign the necessary **permissions** (see list below).
6. Click **Create**.

Once invited, the user will see an invite to manage your store in their [**Projects List**](https://creator.tebex.io/projects) after logging into their Tebex account, along with an email telling them they have been invited to manage your store.

The user should accept the invite through the Projects List; from there, they'll be able to login and manage your store.

### Best Practices

* **Always use Team Accounts** instead of sharing your login credentials.
* **Review permissions regularly**, especially after staff changes.
* **Use View-only** where full access isn't required.
* Ensure **2FA is enabled** for every team member.
