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.
