There is a distinction between accounts and users in the Vertalo system. An account defines an entity in the system to which a single role is assigned (for instance, the issuer role). One or more users are then assigned as a delegate to the account and these users exercise the rights that the role allows. So in effect, an account is a collection of privileges granted to an entity.
Delegation
The delegation model described above allows for a one-to-many relationship between account and users, and gives you a great deal of flexibility as to how to manage access to the accounts you control. For any account created on the platform, a default delegate (user) will be automatically defined; the delegate will vary depending on the context in which the account was created (for instance, via the Vertalo portal vs. API-based creation).
