Many people work in your business. Every one of them contributes to your success. But 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 Melio 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 functions, including: approve payments, add/delete team members and assign roles to members. There is only one owner of a Melio account.
Admin
The admin role is similar to the owner with the exception of the admin can’t modify an owner’s user role. They can approve payments as well. 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 they need the approval of the owner/admin for payments over a certain amount. There can be more than one accountant per Melio account.
Contributor
The contributor can only make payments up to a certain amount. They need the approval of the owner or admin for other payments. There isn’t a limit on the number of contributors to a Melio account.
