Understanding the Custom role

How to configure a Custom role with tailored permissions and account access on Incard.

The Custom role gives Owners and Admins the flexibility to create a tailored permission set for a team member. Instead of granting full access (like Admin) or restricting to accounting only (like Bookkeeper), you pick exactly what the person needs.

How to assign a Custom role

When inviting a new member or editing an existing one, select Custom as the role. You'll then configure permissions across several groups.

Permission groups

Move money

  • Send money

  • Manage recipients

  • Initiate internal transfers

  • Initiate transfers to linked accounts

  • Request payments

Note: "Send money" and "Manage recipients" are linked — enabling one automatically enables the other.

Manage operations

  • Accounting

  • Manage cards and issue cards

  • Manage team members

  • Incard App Store

  • Other integrations

  • Access rewards page

  • Manage categories

Analytics access

  • Cashflow insights

  • Spend insights

  • Reports

Account access

  • Select which Incard accounts the member can view (with balances shown for reference)

  • Select which linked accounts the member can view

At least one account must be selected.

What Custom users can never do

Regardless of configuration, Custom role users cannot:

  • Edit roles or invite/remove team members

  • Manage security settings

  • Transfer ownership or close the company

  • Access Settings → Approvals, Policies, or Billing

  • Access the Team page

Editing a Custom role later

Owners and Admins can update a Custom user's permissions at any time. Go to Settings → Team, click on the member, then select "Edit" from the actions menu. All permission groups and account access are editable. Changes take effect immediately.
