Company overview
The Company application is designed for system and accounting administrators to manage their company and users. Administrators can set security and global settings, grant permissions to users, and manage subscriptions to applications and services. Additionally, individual users can use Company to edit their personal preferences—including their email signature, email notifications, page design, time zone, and date format for example.
Because the Company application is related and integrated into many parts of your company, our Help Center divides the information into four areas: Administration, Applications > Company, More > Import data, and Reporting.
Administration
