An assigned account manager may submit or initiate an update on behalf of a client when authorized in writing; their role is typically limited to administrative changes and requires documented consent from the account holder.
An authorized signer (owner, officer, or trustee) can make substantive changes affecting billing or tax reporting; organizations should verify authority via POA, corporate resolution, or other documentation before applying changes.
