How Do I Add and Edit Account Contacts?

Every Network Solutions® account has an Account Holder who is the owner and legal authority for that account. To improve security and delegate tasks, you can add other users to your account with specific roles and permissions. This guide, organized into collapsible sections, will walk you through the entire process of managing your account contacts.

Important:
  • An account opened by an organization will list the organization as the Account Holder and then an individual from that organization as the Primary Contact.
  • An account opened by an individual will list that person as both the Account Holder and the Primary Contact. There is only one Primary Contact per account.
  • If you are looking to update your domain-specific contacts (WHOIS), please see How Do I Manage My Domain Contacts or WHOIS Information?

Below are the roles and permissions for each type of account contact/user:

Permissions Primary Admin Tech
