Q Why do I need sub-users?

Most of the times, the taxpayer or authorized person himself cannot operate and generate EWBs.He may in that case authorize his staff or operator to do that.He would not like to avoid sharing his user credentials with them. In some firms, the business activities will be operational 24/7 and some firms will have multiple branches. Under these circumstances, the main user can create sub-users and assign different roles to them. He can assign generation of EWB or rejection or report generation activities based on requirements to different sub-users.
