In a Franchise, a third party or Franchisee runs a business on behalf of the company or the Franchisor.
The Franchisor is the governing entity or master account, whereas the Franchisee is the constituent or sub-account. The Franchisor has access to the Franchisee as an owner.
Note: The Franchise subscription is an additional charge and must be added to your Service Autopilot Account before it can be used.
Be sure to enable the User Roles & Rights for the Franchisor before you proceed.
