# Manage access for your team

Learn how to manage your integration in your Customer Area.

[View source](/platforms/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](/platforms/account-structure-resources), such as your company account, merchant account, account holders, and balance accounts.
* Manage all payments, [payment methods](/payment-methods), and [transfers](/platforms/view-transfers-details) in your platform.
* Manage your [API credentials](/development-resources/api-credentials) for payments, your balance platform, and your financial products.
* Configure [webhooks](/development-resources/webhooks/configure-and-manage) to get updates on changes in your platform.
* Generate and download [reports](/platforms/reports-and-fees) for reconciliation.
* Manage your financial products, such as [Issuing](/issuing) and [Capital](/capital).

## 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](/account/user-roles) to them.
