If you created an admin user for staff members directly via Settings > Users instead of using out Members of staff template, the admin won't have a linked customer profile. Admins without a customer profile cannot answer help desk requests, be a tour host or even leave messages on discussion boards.
You can easily fix this by creating a customer profile from their user record on the Admin Panel.
Creating customer profile for admins won't add another user to your active user count, unless the admin uses this profile as a customer.
If the customer profile linked to the admin meets at least one of the conditions detailed in the Who is Considered an Active User in Nexudus? guide, we'll add them to your active user count as admins and customers. If they don't meet any of the conditions, we'll only charge you for the admin user.
