I added a "dev" user, but he can see my account activity

Hi, I added a user with the permission to generate a key and do website integration. However, when I sign in as him, I can see account balances, and his name is not on the screen - mine is. I waited overnight, and it still hasn't changed. Does anyone know the solution?

Are you referring to the Business Account Multi-User access feature?

 

Providing you have a Business Account, you can grant various account access privileges to another person. For example you may have a Business Partner or Assistant who only needs limited access to your Account.

To setup the access privileges:

Login to your PayPal Account.
Select "Profile".
Under "Account Information".
Select "Manage Users".
Select "Add User".
Complete the Form.
Save.

When you setup the account for them, you enter their full name, the ID you want them to use and the password you want them to use. Next, assign the privileges and save. You can then logout and test the login ID and password yourself. Note, login ID is not an email address, it just a unique user name you make up. The unique user name is used to log in along with the password you assigned.

That is exactly what I did. However, the user can still see the account transactions, and he see's my name up there. He does not have the permission to move money, which is good - but he shouldn't see transactions either. I double checked everything.

 

I'm using websites Pro

You can open a Support Ticket here, the Techs can look at your account and tell you something is not configured properly or if this is a glitch.
