Understand billing admins
Learn what billing admins can manage, who can add them, and how billing access differs from organization roles.
Last verified 2 days ago
Billing admins are teammates who can help manage an organization's billing and credits without becoming organization owners. Use billing-admin access when someone needs to handle plan, credit, checkout, or billing settings work, but should not receive broader owner permissions.
Organization owners have billing access by default. Owners are also the people who can add or remove billing admins.
What billing admins can manage
Billing admins can use billing-management controls for the organization. Depending on the organization's billing state and the available checkout configuration, that can include subscription management, top-up credits, auto-recharge settings, billing portal access, billing activity, and usage details.
Billing-admin access is about billing. It does not change what the teammate can do in unrelated organization areas unless their general organization role already allows it.
What only owners can manage
Only organization owners can add or remove billing admins. This keeps delegation controlled by the people who already own organization-level access.
Owners also have billing access by default, so owners do not need to add themselves as billing admins.
Add a billing admin
Open Billing from organization settings and find the Billing admins card. If you are an owner, the card shows Owner controls.
Use Select a teammate to choose a current organization member, then select Add.
The teammate must already be a current organization member. Pending invitations appear in the billing-admin control after the person accepts the invitation.
Remove a billing admin
Open the same Billing admins card. If a teammate has delegated billing access, owners can remove that access from the card.
Removing billing-admin access only removes delegated billing access. It does not remove the teammate from the organization or change their general organization role.
If you cannot make billing changes
If you do not have billing access, Billing can show a read-only view. You may be able to review billing status, but organization owners and billing admins are the people who can make billing changes.
Ask an organization owner to add billing-admin access if you need to manage billing, credits, top-ups, or auto-recharge for the organization.
