Account managers can act on behalf of brokers to perform almost all their tasks. The only thing that account managers cannot do is add other account managers in the system. They can perform client-specific operations that a broker performs, such as creating a proposal, adding classes, running reports, onboarding clients, facilitating enrollments, etc. They can also send emails and receive client-specific notifications. The account managers can perform these actions only for the clients added by them or by the brokers they are associated with.

Using this feature, you can add account managers and associate them with brokers (with an NPN), or with Sales Representatives (with a Sales Rep ID). One account manager can be associated with multiple brokers or sales representatives. If you do not associate an account manager with a broker or Sales Rep., the person gets associated with the agency.
