Jaxxton uses role-based access to make sure each team member sees and can do exactly what they need. You assign a role when you invite someone to the account.

## Roles

## Role details

### Administrator

Full system access with control over all features, settings, and user management. Administrators can manage users and groups, issue and approve cards, view all transactions, trigger payments, and manage integrations. Administrators are also the only role that can complete your account's [application](https://help.jaxxton.com/getting-started/application.md) and change organization-wide 2FA policy. Assign to your company owner or finance lead.

### Manager

Manages their team's spend and approvals. Managers can invite people, manage their team's membership and budgets, issue cards for their team, review card requests from their team, and view their team's card transactions. They can't access company-wide financial data or settings.

### Employee

The standard role for cardholders. Employees can request a card, use cards assigned to them, reveal their own card details, and view their own card transactions. No visibility into company-wide data.

### Bookkeeper

Full finance access. Bookkeepers can process payments, maintain financial records, and manage people, teams and budgets, plus issue cards. Assign to an external bookkeeper or senior finance operator who needs hands-on account access.

### AP Clerk

Focused on accounts payable. AP Clerks can process accounts payable, manage bills and vendors, view statements and budgets, and make payments. No access to card management.

### IT Admin

Integration management only. IT Admins can configure Jaxxton integrations with external systems. No access to financial data.

## Inviting a user

Go to **Company → People** and click **Invite Person**. Enter the person's name and email address, then select their role. They'll receive an email to set their password and activate their account.
