Admin

The governance role. It manages users, companies, technical settings, and the approval policy rules — but it cannot initiate or sign a transfer. It can approve one that someone else initiated, and to do that it signs with its passkey (or with the email code, if Koywe enabled it for your organization). That separation is on purpose.

Can / cannot

Can
  • View everything: transactions, balances, reports
  • Create their passkey, which they need to approve and to save changes to the rules
  • Invite users and assign roles
  • Create and remove companies in the organization
  • Change the approval policy rules, if a Super Admin user enabled it for them
  • Approve pending operations
  • Manage the organization’s passkeys
  • Create and delete API credentials, configure webhooks
  • Submit the KYB documentation
Cannot
  • Initiate payments, withdrawals, or conversions
  • Sign transfers
  • Manage the company’s own bank accounts and wallets
  • Manage contacts and their accounts

When to use it

For whoever manages the account without touching the money: the head of IT, of compliance, or whoever manages the team’s access.

Having the permission is not enough to edit the approval policy. The rule that allows managing it is only created automatically for Super Admin users. An Admin user passes the permission check, but the approval policy denies them, until a Super Admin user writes a Policy management rule that allows it.
