Admin accounts are the individual accounts that are used to log into the store's administration area. For security purposes, every user that logs into the administration area should have their own admin account. This is also a requirement to receive tech support from Modular Merchant.

- Go to Admin > Add an Admin Account.
- Give the admin a login and password. Do not use spaces. Required.

Admin Profile Store admins have access to posting comments in the Modular Merchant forums as well as in articles in the Modular Merchant knowledge base. The admin profile provides the ability to create a forum handle, avatar, and signature, which are used to personalize the posts. Creating a forum handle also prevents the store username from being posted publicly.
