An account in Kentico CMS is an object representing a single organization, i.e. a company or other commercial or non-commercial body. The object can be site-specific or shared across more websites (global account). It contains multiple contacts, can have subsidiaries and can be assigned with an account status. Besides, stored as a system table, an account supports custom fields.

 

Further in this chapter, you will learn how to manage accounts and you will also see an example of adding a new account to your Contact management.
