Altitude Card uses two roles to control who can issue cards, manage them and use them.
The roles
Admin: issues cards, manages limits and can freeze, unfreeze, rename or terminate any card. An admin also manages who else is a card admin. They review, request and upload receipts. Card admins must be members of your workspace.
Cardholder: uses the cards assigned to them. They can freeze their own card and email receipts for their own transactions. A cardholder does not need to be a member of your workspace – you can invite anyone by email when issuing a card. See Issue a card to someone outside your workspace.
Note: Being a workspace admin does not make you a card admin. Every card admin is assigned from Manage admins on the Cards page, and in a workspace newly approved for cards at least one card admin must be assigned before any cards can be issued. See Manage card admins.
Note: Cardholders who are not workspace members sign in to a view limited to their own cards and transactions. They never see workspace balances, accounts, other cardholders or members.
