Your users are represented by an account holder resource in your balance platform. Each account holder is associated with a set of capabilities that determine what they can do on your platform. To access business financing with Adyen Capital, users must have capital capabilities.
In most cases, Adyen configures the necessary capabilities during the design phase of your Capital integration. These capabilities are then automatically requested for your users when you create account holders for them. However, you can request these capabilities later and enable or disable them for individual account holders if needed.
