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 Manage admins on the Cards page.
Before you start
Being a workspace admin does not make you a card admin. Card admin access is assigned separately. You can assign a workspace member as a card admin without issuing them a card. 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.
Note: Card admins must be members of your workspace. Cardholders do not: to give someone a card without adding them to the workspace, invite them by email when issuing the card. See Issue a card to someone outside your workspace.
Open Manage admins
Go to Cards.
Select Manage admins in the top right.
The Manage card admins panel lists your current card admins and lets you search everyone in your workspace by name or email.
Assign or revoke an admin
To assign: search for a workspace member, select them and choose Add. They can then issue cards, set limits and manage cardholders.
To revoke: select the person's checkbox in the Card admins list, then choose Remove admin.
Note: Depending on your workspace's approval settings, assigning or revoking an admin can create a proposal that needs approval before it takes effect. Select Proposal in the row to open the proposal and check its status. Assigning or revoking an admin does not affect other pending proposals, including card-related ones.
What admins can do
An admin can issue cards, set and edit spending limits, freeze, unfreeze, rename and terminate cards, and invite cardholders – including people outside the workspace, by email. Admins can also email receipts for any cardholder's transactions in the same workspace from their registered email address, even if they have no card themselves. 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.
