Adding Employees to Your SmartVault Account

After setting up your SmartVault account password and settings, you can add employees so they can access the account. SmartVault emails your employees with directions to activate their SmartVault account after you add them.

There are four types of employees in SmartVault:

  • Administrator—Access to all employees and their clients across your account
  • Account Employees—Access to all clients
  • Assigned Employees—Access only the clients assigned to them
  • Seasonal Workers—Temporary access that runs from December 15 to April 30th

  Important

You must have available licenses or add additional licenses to your account to add new employees.
