As a Meltwater App Administrator, you’re responsible for managing user access to both the Meltwater platform and Meltwater Copilot App. Follow these steps to add and manage your Copilot users:
Before You Begin
Before adding and managing your users, it is important to understand the different access and seat types. Your Meltwater subscription includes access for three user type options:
User Type | Application Access | Seat Type Used |
Meltwater Platform Only | Meltwater | Platform User Seat |
Meltwater Copilot Only | Microsoft Teams | Meltwater Copilot User Seat |
Both | Meltwater + Teams | One seat each (Platform + Copilot) |
Note: You can assign users based on the number of seats purchased for each product.
