Running an Amazon business often requires a team effort. Whether you're expanding your team, working with a virtual assistant, or partnering with a consultant, knowing how to add a user to your Amazon Seller Central account is crucial. This guide will walk you through the steps to add a user to your account and manage their permissions effectively.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a User to Seller Central
