How to Add and Manage Users In Your 3PL Portal

Last updated: February 28, 2026

Overview

Mountainy’s 3PL portal allows you to manage and customize user access within your organization. Proper user management ensures your team has the right level of visibility while maintaining operational control.

This guide outlines the different user types available and explains how to add, edit, or manage users within your portal.

User Roles Overview

There are two user types available within the portal:

Admin User and Standard User

Admin Users have full access to all portal functionality, including:

  • Managing users

  • Accessing inventory reports

  • Viewing inventory movement reports

  • Accessing revenue and dashboard metrics

  • Uploading orders

Admin access is typically limited to trusted team members who require full operational visibility.

Standard Users have limited access and cannot access:

  • User management settings

  • Inventory reports

  • Inventory movement reports

  • Revenue and dashboard metrics

  • Order uploads

This role is typically appropriate for customer service representatives or team members who require operational visibility but do not need administrative permissions.


Step 1: Accessing the 3PL Portal

To begin, navigate to the ShipHero client portal:

Sign in using the account credentials provided by your Mountainy account manager.

Step 2: Adding a New User (Admin Only)

Only Admin Users have permission to add or manage users within the 3PL portal.

If you do not see that button, then your account does not currently have Admin permissions.
