Admin Users and Roles

Overview​

The admin users and roles add on is where you can determine who can login to your ChargeOver account and view and edit certain things in your account. You can create different permissions for different types of admin users and you can also delete admin users at any time, if you have the role of Administrator.

Add a new admin user​

  1. Go to your Settings menu
  2. Select Admin Users & Roles from the left menu
  3. Click the New Admin User button

  1. Fill in the required fields and click Save

An email will be sent immediately to the new team member, with instructions on how to log in to ChargeOver.

The new team member will use their email address to log in, and will be able to set their own password.

info

The permissions your team members have are based on what admin roles and permissions you assign them to.

Think carefully about what each team member should have access to when assigning roles.

Only show records a user owns​

If you want admin users to, by default, see any records they own right away when they login, there is a setting for it under each admin user.

The option below is meant to de-clutter ChargeOver for the admin user and allow them to find the customers they are responsible for, quickly.

The admin user will still be able to find and view other customers and records that belong to other team members by using the search bar in the ChargeOver account. This does not block other records from being found by the admin user. Only adjusting their permissions can do that.

Admin permissions​

Overview​

ChargeOver supports customizable roles and permissions. Use permissions and roles to give specific users access to specific pieces of data or actions within ChargeOver.

For example, you might allow your salespeople to create and edit recurring packages, invoices, and payments, but deny them permission to void or refund payments. Meanwhile, your accountant can be given access to do those refunds and voids instead.
