ANSWERED: What are the different roles in Xfinity My Account?
As an Xfinity customer, you can use your Xfinity ID (email, mobile, username) to access your account information online through your account.
The type of information and settings that you can access depends on your user role type, which the primary user can set when inviting additional users to the account.
The Primary user can invite two role types to the account: Manager and Member. The Primary user has full administrative access for the Comcast account. By selecting the role they want the invited user to have, they can control what those users are allowed to see and do.
For account holders or primaries who have users they’d like to grant limited access to, they can set them up as a third role: Viewer.

How To Change a User's Role on Your Account

Change User Role
To change a user's role:
-
- Sign in to xfinity.com as the Primary user.
- Scroll to view the users on the account.
