Manage card admins

Assign or revoke who can issue and manage cards

Written by Noah

Card admins are the people who can issue and manage cards in your workspace. When you first set up cards, add your first admin from the Set up Cards checklist by selecting Add admin. After that, manage who is an admin anytime from the card Settings panel.


Before you start

Being a workspace admin does not make you a card admin. Card admin access is assigned separately. In a workspace newly approved for cards, no one is a card admin yet: assign at least one before issuing any cards. After that, card admins manage who else is assigned or revoked.


Open card settings

  1. Go to Cards.

  2. Select Settings in the top right.

  3. The Card settings panel lists everyone in your workspace, with their name and email.


Assign or revoke an admin

Next to a person's name:

  • Select Assign admin to let them issue and manage cards.

  • Select Revoke admin to remove that access.

Note: Depending on your workspace's approval settings, assigning or revoking an admin can create a proposal that needs approval before it takes effect. While a proposal is pending, the row shows Review proposal instead.


What admins can do

An admin can issue cards, set and edit spending limits, freeze, unfreeze, rename and terminate cards. Revoking admin access removes those abilities. It does not affect any card the person already holds as a cardholder.

Note: Card admin access is separate from workspace member rights. For who can propose, approve or execute changes across your workspace, see Members.
