Manage user roles and permissions on Xfinity accounts

As an Xfinity customer, you can give others access to your account and let them do some things, like pay bills, add or cancel services, and use Xfinity apps. The account owner or Primary user can pick who can access the account and what they can do. You can have up to seven users, including you, on an account.

User roles defined

The account owner is automatically the Primary user. The Primary user can then invite other users to the account and give them different roles:

• Managers can manage most account functions, like adding, removing, and porting Xfinity Mobile lines, billing, troubleshooting, and device changes. They cannot buy new Xfinity Mobile service.
• Members can access troubleshooting, manage their own Xfinity Mobile line and features. They cannot access billing or make account changes.
• Viewers can access troubleshooting. They can only view their own Xfinity Mobile line details and usage without making any changes.
• Guest Mode can access the Xfinity app to view details about their own Xfinity Mobile line.

For information about what each role can do, see the simplified user roles and permissions.
