Happy Independent Reserve users

What are Multi-user accounts?

Multi-user accounts is a feature on Independent Reserve that allows you to grant trusted parties access to your account. If you are the original account owner, you can add a secondary user to your account to allow them access to perform various tasks, depending on the role that you assign to them.

Trusted parties to whom you grant access could include your accountant, finance team, financial advisers, employees or family members.

Five levels of access

There are five different roles to choose from when giving someone access to your account:

Viewer

A Viewer can view account details but cannot trade, withdraw, or make any changes to the account.

Trader

A Trader has the same access as a Viewer and can also place buy and sell orders.

Trader with restricted withdrawals

This user has the same access as a Trader, and can also withdraw crypto and fiat to addresses that have been withdrawn to before.

Trader with withdrawals

This user has the same access as a Trader with restricted withdrawals, and can also add new bank accounts or crypto addresses to the address book, and request withdrawals to new destinations.

Administrator

This user has the same access as the original account owner but cannot use leveraged trading, or manage PayPal or credit card deposits.
