User permissions : Divided into "Administrator," "Rights Owner," and "Registered Agent" roles. These roles can access protection tools and management controls. These roles only authorize users to protect intellectual property rights, not to obtain exclusive brand sales rights.
Sales account permissions : Divided into "Brand Representative" and "Reseller" roles. These roles provide seller platform sales accounts with permissions to use brand building tools to grow your brand on Amazon.
 
 
These roles will determine the account management permissions and brand protection tool usage permissions your brand registry account has:
Administrator   
Has the permission to add and remove users, and can assign roles to other users.
Rights Owner   
Refers to the trademark owner or their employees who have the right to report violations. 
Rights Owners have the right to use the "Report Violations" tool.
Registered Agent   
Refers to a third party authorized by the Rights Owner, who can use the "Report Violations" tool.
If you, as the applicant for brand registration, submitted the trademark and successfully completed brand registration, your brand registration account will automatically become "Rights Owner + Administrator." As an administrator, you have account management permissions and can add other users and assign them 1-2 account roles. Only administrators have the permission to assign account roles to other users; the specific differences in brand protection tool permissions mainly apply to the "Rights Owner" and "Registered Agent" roles.

*Under the same brand, if multiple users use the same role to edit the same ASIN, the system will equally weight all contributions, but the final page content is determined by the Amazon algorithm. Therefore, it is recommended that brand sales roles and brand administrators synchronize content regularly to avoid page information conflicts.*
Tips:   
To ensure timely account management, it is recommended to set at least two administrators for your brand. This way, if you cannot access your Brand Registry account, there is still a trusted user who can manage your brand.
