We recommend assigning a role that fits each team member's needs to make the most out of Qonto and achieve maximum collective efficiency.

Note: All roles have access to both the main account and all sub-accounts. However, the actions users can perform within these accounts vary based on their role permissions. Currently, it's not possible to restrict access to specific sub-accounts.

 

You can customize approval workflows for transfer and reimbursement requests, allowing you to define which roles can validate a request depending on the amount you set. If you have the Account Payable or the Expense and Spend Management add-on, please visit How to customize workflow approval for transfer and reimbursement requests?.
