Admin Home

Welcome to Shipping Administration

The Shipping Administration feature allows a company to assign certain individuals who manage and control the shipping activities of the company’s various Users and Departments. Administrators can configure shipping options or restrict services, customize company reference information and run shipping reports. Note that the Users and Departments they administer may either be in the same location or dispersed geographically across multiple locations within a company.

Shipping Administrator Privileges

  • Management of all Users, Departments and References
  • Access to all FedEx Ship Manager shipping functionality
  • Access to Shipping Administration from the Admin tab on any FedEx Ship Manager screen
  • Ability to create and manage a Central Address Book that can be shared with Users
  • Ability to track company-wide shipments
  • Ability to create, edit and delete shipping Admin Reports by Department
  • Ability to manage and update Company Information

Shipping Administration User Privileges

  • Users without administrative privileges assigned to their User ID do not have access to any of the administrative functionality of Shipping Administration. Certain other features are only available to them if the Shipping Administrator has granted the privileges.
  • Users can view and manage their own personal shipping history for tracking and reporting, but cannot see the shipment activity for other Users in the company.
