how do I go about connecting my iTunes Connect Account to that of apptopia? I signed up there and they ask me to connect however, when I use the link they provide "https://itunesconnect.apple.com" I get the error "Apple ID does not have permission to acc"

I've gotten same message.

I emailed for help and got an immediate reply , this is it below
