You can use your PayPal Business account to add users to your account, create multiple logins and access levels, and assign specific privileges so your employees can complete tasks for you.

1. Go to Account access.
2. Click Update in the “Manage Users” section.
3. Click Add User.
4. Provide the user’s information, check each account privilege you’re giving this user and click Save.

Tip: If you give your user the “Money Movement” permission, this user will need to complete verification.
