THIS FUNCTION APPLIES ONLY TO CAMPCONTROL (for Exploration Companies), not to CampControl for Expediting Companies

The Account Manager has the capabilities and responsibilities listed in the table below.

The most critical of these, which are not shared with any other users of the system, are the following

  1. Responsibility for payment of the account's subscription;
  2. Control over whether Company, Project, Camp and Expediting Managers are allowed to add additional users to the account (which impacts subscription costs).
  3. Control over whether the account uses CampControl's pre-configured Cost Codes and Program Codes, company-specific codes entered by the Account Manager, or both.

Permission Status Description
 Manage Account  Always ON  Only one user per Exploration Account should have this permission for clear accountability reasons. The only exception to this is likely to be when an Account Manager delegates his responsibilities to his Office Administrator. He/she can create any number of users at different levels, including Expediting Managers and Expediters, but cannot create additional companies, as an Exploration Account services only one Exploration Company.
