Understanding the Custom role

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

Updated today

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 β€” 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 β†’ 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 β†’ Team, click on the member, then select "Edit" from the actions menu. All permission groups and account access are editable. Changes take effect immediately.
