The username of the new Merchant panel is an email address. Users have different roles with different rights. In this article, you'll find information about roles and instructions for creating, editing, and deleting a user account.
User rights and roles
The Merchant panel allows for multiple users and to assign different roles. All users have the right to see payments and information in the Merchant panel. In other respects, user roles differ as follows:
Administrator
A user to whom the administrator role is assigned. The administrator can view payments and settlements and view, add, delete and edit users. A company may have several administrators.
Manage information
A user role that enables editing the settings of the organization, service or payment methods. A user with the manage information role can see the Secret key in the Merchant account section.
Manage payments
A user role that can refund payments.
Payment link creation
A user role that grants rights to create payment links. A user with this role cannot initiate refunds, transfer funds or process other payments.
User without a role
A user that has not been assigned a role can view payment and settlement information but they will not have sufficient rights to refund payments or edit Merchant account information. This user might be suitable for a company accountant.
Initiating refunds
A user role to create refunds that require separate approval. A user cannot have this role and the “Refund approval” role.
Refund approval
A user role that enables the approval of refunds that require it. A user cannot have this role and the “Initiating refunds” role.
