As soon as the merchant account is ready, one admin user is automatically added to iQ. This is the portal for your merchant account that provides you with access to reports, statements, transaction details, settlement information, and dispute management. After that, the admin is responsible for inviting additional users. We do this because there are 3 different access levels and nobody knows better than you who should have full access and who needs limited permissions.
User Types
- Standard User: No ability to view or edit users.
- Basic Administrator: Ability to view but not edit users, unlock/lock users, reset passwords, reset security questions, resend invites (but cannot modify user email addresses).
- External User Administrator (full access): Ability to view, modify and invite any new users, unlock/lock users, reset passwords, reset security questions, clone a user, resend an invite, and the ability to change user email addresses.
