Company users — add colleagues, set roles and spending limits

The table lists every user with Name, Email, Role, Spending limit (“Unlimited” when none), and Status (active/inactive). Filter by role or search by name/email.

RoleCan do
BuyerBrowse, buy, request quotes, see company orders/invoices — the everyday role
ApproverEverything a buyer can, plus release or reject held orders in Approvals
AdminEverything above, plus manage users, budgets, company details and the procurement integration

Adding a user:

  1. Press Invite user.
  2. Fill Full name, Email, a Temporary password, choose the Role (Buyer / Approver / Admin) and optionally a Spending limit (leave empty for Unlimited).
  3. Press Invite.
note

Despite the button’s name, this creates the account immediately — no invitation email is sent. Pass the temporary password to your colleague yourself (ideally through your company’s password manager) and have them change it under Settings → Security on first sign-in. Emailed join links (section Getting an account) come from the seller’s side — ask your account manager if you’d rather onboard colleagues that way.

Editing a user: click the pencil icon. In the Edit ‹name› dialog you can change the name, Role, Spending limit, and the Active toggle — switch it off to lock out a leaver without deleting their history.

Troubleshooting

“A user with this email already exists.” — the address is taken, perhaps by a deactivated account; edit that one instead. “You cannot remove your own admin access.” — a safety rail; have another admin change your role if needed.

Spending limits are per-user order caps: an order above the user’s limit goes to approval (Approvals and spending limits). They complement, not replace, budgets — limits govern who can commit how much per order, budgets govern how much in total a cost center can spend per period.
