What is the difference between contacts and users?

In this article, we’ll review the difference between contacts and users in your Client Area. 

Contacts are used only for communication.
Users can log in and can have different permissions.

How to view your contact information

  1. Log in to your Client Area 
  2. Click on My Settings, then Account Details
    Contacts and users settings
  3. Your account details will be displayed:
    Contacts and users settings

This is the main contact information associated with your account. Changing this email address will not change your log-in email address. It will only change the email address for your communications with WHC.

How to add a new contact

If you would like to add a contact to receive specific emails:

  1. Log in to your Client Area 
  2. Click on My Settings, then Account Details
    Contacts and users settings
  3. Click on Contacts (from the left menu)
    Contacts and users settings
  4. Choose Add New Contact and enter the contact information, including your desired email preferences for that specific contact.

How to view your User information

  1. Log in to your Client Area 
  2. Click on My Settings, then Your Profile

How to add a new user
