You can add users to the Expel Workbench. This is helpful because you may need other members of your staff to see the status of your environment or view what's going on.
Before you add a user, make sure you know the level of access the user needs: Organization Analyst or Organization Admin. Administrator rights shouldn't be assigned to everyone. For example, only Organization Admins can add new users and edit or delete user accounts in Workbench.
Note
For specific details about what each role can do, see User role rights in Expel Workbench.
