Many people work in your business. And while every one of them contributes to your success, not everyone in your team should have the same permissions on your Melio account.
Melio lets you assign different roles to your team members, and use your account more efficiently.
This article will cover:
What roles are available on Melio?
Owner
The person who created the account is the owner. The owner role has access to all the Melio functions: payment approval, adding/deleting team members, and assigning roles to members. Every Melio account can only have one owner.
Admin
The admin role is similar to the owner with the exception that the admin can’t modify an owner’s user role. There can be more than one admin of a Melio account.
Accountant
We recommend assigning the accountant role to the business’s actual accountant. The accountant can edit bank details and connect to the QuickBooks account. But you can set a payment amount, above which they need the approval of the owner/admin. There can be more than one accountant per Melio account.
Contributor
You can set a payment amount, above which they need the approval of the owner/admin. There isn’t a limit on the number of contributors to a Melio account.

Editing a team member’s role

Note: Want this collaborator to become the owner of the business?
The owner of a business can update a collaborator’s role to the owner. Just select Make owner from the drop-down menu. Accounts at Melio only have one owner so you’ll be asked to select a new role for yourself. Click Yes, make owner to confirm.
3. Choose the role you want to assign to this person.
4. Click Apply role to continue.
5. You can see the new role next to the team member’s name.
Delete a team member from your collaborators list
You can remove a name from the list, both before or after they have accepted your invitation.
- Click the three dots next to the person’s name.
- Select Remove user from the dropdown list.
- Click Remove user to continue.
That’s it. You can reassign roles to your team members as your business grows and develops.
