- Administrator: this profile has enabled all the permission of the account. A user entitled to this profile can create, review, update, and delete (or disable) the information related to the account. Furthermore, this user can see and download all the reports, view the technical information, resolve disputes, manage users, perform transfers, and manage profiles.
- Read and write: this profile is the equivalent of a manager profile. A user entitled to this profile can create, review, update, and delete (or disable) the information related to the account. Furthermore, this user can see and download all the reports, view the technical information, resolve disputes, and review the users and profiles created.
- Only read: this profile can access the account in read-only mode. A user entitled to this profile can create, review the information related to the account, download some of the reports, view the transfers of the account. Furthermore, this user cannot see the technical details or has access to the users and profiles.
