Subusers

New SendGrid accounts do not come with subusers; you must create them with the parent account.

To create a subuser:

1. Navigate to Settings and select Subuser Management.

2. Click Create New Subuser.

3. Enter the following required information into the corresponding fields:

   • Username - The username your subuser will use to send emails and access the API.
   • Email Address - The contact email address for this subuser. This must be an active email account as SendGrid may contact a subuser to provide support, resolve sending and deliverability issues, or to enforce SendGrid's Terms of Service. Whenever we contact a subuser, it is our policy to contact the parent account email address at the same time.
   • Password - The password your subuser will use to access SendGrid.com.
   • Avatar - If you have gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, that you use for other applications, it is automatically associated with this subuser when you enter an email address. This makes it easier to identify all of the subusers attached to your account.

4. Assign an IP Address to the subuser account. You are assigned a dedicated IP address when you create a Pro 100k plan or higher. If you send at a high volume, and you're using subusers to separate out your sending traffic, it's best practice to purchase a separate IP for each sending type.

Subusers can be managed via Subuser API or by using the SendGrid UI.

To manage a subuser from the SendGrid UI:

1. Navigate to Settings and select Subuser Management.
2. Select the name of the subuser. This takes you to the subuser's account and profile settings. From there, you can manage and update your subuser Settings.

We do not require this information for your subusers, but we suggest that you fill out as much as possible to improve the deliverability for this subuser, especially if the information does not match your parent account's information. This will also allow SendGrid to contact your subuser directly if we notice anything on their account.

The following fields in the subuser profile are optional:

First Name - The first name of the person responsible for this subuser.

Last Name - The last name of the person responsible for this subuser.

Company - The name of your subuser's company.

Address 1 - The first line of your subuser's address.

Address 2 - The second line of your subuser's address.

City - The city in which your subuser operates.

State - The state or province in which your subuser operates.

Country - The country in which your subuser operates.

Zip - The zip code in which your subuser operates.

Company Phone Number - The phone number for your subuser's business.

Company Website - The website for your subuser's business.

If your Subuser account has nonrecurring or recurring credits, you can allocate credits to, or remove credits from this subuser account. On the subuser's profile, click Change Credit Rules and then choose the appropriate credit amount for the subuser.

You will be able to assign more credits to your subuser regardless of having the recurring option on Change Credit Limits.

To turn off a subuser's access to SendGrid temporarily:

1. Navigate to Settings and select Subuser Management.
2. Locate the subuser account you wish to disable and click on the name to view the account details.
3. Click Disable Account.

To re-enable a subuser's account, follow steps 1 and 2 above, then click Enable Account.

To delete a subuser account:

1. Navigate to Settings and select Subuser Management.
2. Locate the subuser account you wish to delete and click on the name to view the account details.
3. On the Account Settings page, click Delete. A confirmation window appears.
4. Click Confirm to delete the subuser account.

You will need to have a dedicated IP address already. Adding subusers to dedicated IP addresses can help you separate your sending traffic, improving your deliverability rate.

1. Navigate to Settings and select Subuser Management.
2. Select the subuser to assign the dedicated IP.
3. Select Change Sending.
4. Under IP Addresses, select an IP address to assign to the subuser.
5. Select Save.

When you set up subusers, it may be useful to see what the subuser's settings are and to see what the subuser can see in the SendGrid UI. To make this easier, we've made it so you can impersonate a subuser from your parent account and then manage the subuser the same way as if you had logged in with that user's credentials, without having to log out of your parent account.

To impersonate a Subuser:

1. Log into SendGrid.
2. Go to the top left corner of the portal screen and click on your name just above the navigation menu.
3. Click Change Account.
4. Choose the subuser you want to impersonate by clicking that subuser's name.

The page will refresh, and you will notice a message at the top of the screen that says, "You're currently logged in as [subuser name]".

If you have more than one subuser, you can also switch to another subuser by clicking Switch Subuser in the top-right corner once you are impersonating any subuser.

Click the link at the top left that says "Back to Parent Account". This will log you out of the subuser account and take you back to your parent account portal.

If you would like to see how your subusers are performing in comparison to each other, you can export subuser data.

To export subuser information:

1. Navigate to Settings and select Subuser Management.
2. Click Export Data. This downloads a CSV file with each subuser's reputation, the number of requests they made this month, and the number of requests they made last month.
