# Manage access for your team

Learn how to manage your integration in your Customer Area.

[View source](/capital/manage-access.md)

When you first sign up for Adyen, we automatically create an admin user account for your platform. After we create your admin user, you receive an email to verify the account. When you complete the verification, your admin user becomes active.

## Customer Area

The Customer Area is an online dashboard that helps you manage your platform integration.

In your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/), you can:

* Manage your Adyen [resources](/capital/account-structure-resources), such as your company account, merchant account, account holders, balance accounts, and grant accounts.
* Manage access for members of your team.
* Manage your [API credentials](/development-resources/api-credentials) for your balance platform.
* Configure [webhooks](/development-resources/webhooks/configure-and-manage) to get updates on changes in your platform.
* View information about your Capital offerings.

## User management

Your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/) includes an admin user who has access to all the permissions required to manage your integration. These permissions also enable you to create more user accounts for your team.

User accounts allow members of your team to access your Customer Area. With your admin user account, you can provide each user with a specific set of permissions to perform certain actions. You control your user's permissions by assigning roles to them.

All users with an Adyen account must set up [Multifactor Authentication (MFA)](/account/multifactor-authentication/) or [Single Sign-On](/account/single-sign-on) in the Customer Area.

### User roles

To view information about Capital in the Customer Area, your users need the following role:

| Role                  | The user can...                        |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Capital base role** | View capital grants and grant details. |

For more information about how you can manage access for members of your team, see [Manage users](/account/users).

## API credentials

To make requests to Adyen's APIs, you must have the appropriate API credentials. When your balance platform account is set up, it includes:

* An API credential for web services.
* An API credential for legal entity management.

For more information on how to manage these credentials, see [API credentials for Balance Platform](/platforms/manage-access/api-credentials-web-service/).

A credential for web services has web service (ws) roles assigned to it. These roles specify what API requests a user can perform with this credential.

### Roles for API credentials

The following tabs show the most frequently used web service roles that are available in your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/).

### Tab: Balance platform configuration

The following table shows roles that you use to make requests for general configuration of your Balance Platform.
