Card roles and permissions

What admins and cardholders can each do

Written by Noah

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.

  • Cardholder: uses the cards assigned to them. A cardholder must be a member of your workspace. They can freeze their own card.

Note: Being a workspace admin does not make you a card admin. Every card admin is assigned from Settings 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.
