In Routable you have the option to control the permissions your users have by setting them up with different roles — where each role has varying levels of access for what the user can and cannot do in Routable.

Administrators

By default, the team member who signs up for the Routable account is designated as the Administrator of the account. There are no limits on the number of users that can be Administrators in your account.

⭐ Check out your team members list to see who your team Administrators are.

Admin users can do everything Creators and Approvers can do, and they can also access things the other roles cannot, like all of the account settings so they can perform administrative actions for the account.

The abilities that are exclusive to Admins include:

Managing team members
Managing approval settings
Requesting changes to the account

Admins can also manage the roles of team members and make other users Admins as needed.

IT Administrators

Similar to Admins, IT Administrators have the ability to create and manage team member roles. Unlike Admins, IT Administrators are unable to create, edit, send, export, or approve bills, invoices, vendors, or customers.

This role exists solely to allow IT Admins to manage team members, plus the ability to view and edit API access.

⭐ Note: Though IT Admins can not interact with vendors/customers, bills/invoices, or funding accounts, they can create Admins who are able to do those things.
