How to Manage User Permissions on CoinGate for Safer, Smarter Team Access

As your business grows, so does your team – and so does the need to manage access to the systems smartly. 

Not every teammate needs full control over your CoinGate account, but if you’re scaling support, integrating crypto payments, or sorting out invoices, User Permissions will come in handy.

Our system allows you to invite team members to your CoinGate account while giving them only the access they truly need. This keeps things tidy, secure, and compliant.

How to Invite Users to Your Business Account

If you’re the owner of a CoinGate account, here’s how to bring teammates onboard:

1. Navigate to “Account” → “Manage business” → “Users”
   
2. Click “+Invite People”
   
3. Enter the email address of your teammate
   
4. Assign them the appropriate role(s)

Done. But now comes the important part – what roles should you assign?

Role Types and What They Mean

Each role unlocks specific parts of the dashboard. Always follow the principle of least privilege – give access only to what’s necessary.

Administrator

• Access: Everything (except changing the owner)
  
• Best for: Senior team members who need full oversight
  
• Tip: Use sparingly – too much access can be a security risk

Accounting

• Access: Invoices and order views
  
• Best for: Finance, accountants, or bookkeepers
  
• Tip: Perfect for teams handling reconciliation or tax reporting

Developer

• Access: API keys and integration settings
  
• Best for: Engineers or dev-ops responsible for integration
  
• Tip: Does not include financial or support access – safe for technical-only roles

Support

• Access: View orders and manage support tickets
  
• Best for: Customer support agents
  
• Tip: Keeps support teams focused, without access to sensitive financial or API data

You can combine roles if someone’s job spans multiple responsibilities. But always double-check whether they truly need the extra access.

Security First: Enforce 2FA for All Users

Before your teammates can start working, make sure they’ve enabled two-factor authentication (2FA). You can enforce this under the same “Manage business” section.

2FA helps protect your business from unauthorized logins – even if someone’s password is compromised.

Review & Audit Regularly

Even with the best setup, things change – people switch teams, roles evolve, someone leaves.

That’s why it’s good practice to:

• Review the “Users” tab every few months
  
• Check the “Activities” tab to see who did what recently
  
• Revoke access for former employees or unused roles
  
• Adjust roles as your business scales

Pro tip: set a quarterly reminder to audit permissions.

Managing Multiple Businesses?

If you operate more than one business under your CoinGate account, repeat this process for each one. Roles don’t carry over – you need to invite teammates to each business profile separately.

Final tip: There can only be one owner per business. This role has the highest level of control and cannot be reassigned through the dashboard. Treat it as your account’s top guardian – usually reserved for the company lead or primary decision-maker.

By keeping roles clean, access minimal, and audits regular, you help your business stay secure, compliant, and easy to manage.
