With Bill Manager's user roles, you can invite anyone from your organization to join your account while still keeping control over each person's permissions. This allows you to share responsibilities with your team while maintaining oversight of your payment processes.
This guide explains the different user roles and provides a detailed breakdown of what each role can and cannot do.
Available user roles
Bill Manager offers three different user roles:
Admin
Accountant
Contributor
Admin
Admins can set, edit, and view approval workflows. They can also approve payments, manage bills, manage vendors, and manage payments.
Accountant
An Accountant can schedule payments and connect to the company's accounting software account. However, an Accountant can also have payment limits that require Admin approval. In addition, an Accountant doesn't have the permission to approve payments of Contributors and other Accountants.
Contributor
A Contributor can schedule payments and add vendors. They can be set to require payment approval above a certain amount.
Roles and permissions breakdown
Each user role has specific permissions that determine what actions they can perform in your account. Understanding these permissions helps you assign the right roles to your team members and maintain proper oversight of your payment processes. The tables below provide a detailed breakdown of what each role can and cannot do.
