The partner user roles are:
- Owner

Partner User Roles Explained
Sales Role
Within their Allbound pipeline table, a user with a Sales role can only see deals that:
- They have registered themselves
- Have been registered on their behalf
Allbound does not allow for lateral pipeline views, so Sales roles cannot see deals registered by other Sales roles.
Example from above image: In his Allbound pipeline table, Michael will only see deals that he registered himself and deals that were registered on his behalf from a user with a Manager and/or Executive role. Michael will not see Mila or Chris's deals in his pipeline table.
Manager Role
Within their Allbound pipeline table, a user with a Manager role can only see deals that:
- They have registered themselves
- Have been registered on their behalf
- All Sales roles deals from the same primary company
Allbound does not allow for lateral pipeline views, so Manager roles cannot see deals registered by other Manager roles.
Example from above image: In his Allbound pipeline table, Joseph will see his own deals and he will see Michael, Mila, and Chris's deals.
Executive Role
Within their Allbound pipeline table, a user with an Executive role can only see deals that:
- They have registered themselves
- All Managers roles deals from the same primary company
- All Sales roles deals from the same primary company
Allbound does not allow for lateral pipeline views, so Executive roles cannot see deals registered by other Executive roles.
Example from above image: In her Allbound pipeline table, Jessica will see her own deals, Joseph's deals, and Michael, Mila, and Chris's deals.
Account Owner Role
The Account Owner role should be reserved for users from your company only. The Account Owner role possesses the highest pipeline table visibility for their primary company and the partner companies they manage without being an Allbound Administrator user. Within their Allbound pipeline table, a user with an Account Owner role can see deals that:
- They have registered themselves
- All Executive roles deals from the same primary company AND/OR their associated companies they manage
- All Manager roles deals from the same primary company AND/OR their associated companies they manage
- All Sales roles from the same primary company AND/OR their associated companies they manage
Example from above image: In his Allbound pipeline table, Graham will see his own deals, Jessica's deals, Joseph's deals, Michael's deals, Mila's deals, and Chris's deals. If Graham were associated to another company too, he would see all of their Executive, Manager, and Sales roles deals in his pipeline.
