A Basic user is primarily intended for email use only and has limited access. They can view service usage but cannot make any changes to the account or modify settings. Compared to Account Moderators, Basic users do not have the option to modify the plan or access the Billing section.

However, if they wish to make a payment, they can do so by making a one-time payment through the website, as long as they have the account number, the bill number, and the amount ready.
