User roles

Learn about the different roles and the corresponding permissions.

User roles are sets of permissions that determine what the user can do in the Customer Area, such as whether they can look up payments, configure risk settings, or download financial reports. Each user can have one or more roles, depending on the tasks they need to perform.

When you first sign up for Adyen, you get an admin user with the most common roles assigned to it, including the Merchant admin role. As the admin user, you can then create new users for other people in your organization.

The admin user can only give out roles that they themselves have. This prevents users from giving out unwarranted permissions, helping to keep your account safe.

If you need to assign a role that neither you nor your admin have, reach out to our Support Team.
