User & Groups Overview

Interspire Email Marketer allows you to set up and manage unlimited user and group accounts. Use different user accounts or user groups to control what different users or groups of Interspire Email Marketer may and may not do.

You may want to do this if only certain employees should have access to email lists, while other employees need to design templates or campaigns, or if you are providing Interspire Email Marketer as a service to clients who must have access to only certain areas of the application.
