Team members need the right level of access to do their jobs without putting sensitive financial data at risk. Clearing gives admins control over who's on the team and what they can touch.

From Team Management, you can add new members, assign roles, edit permissions, resend invites, or block access when someone leaves.

Roles include Admin, Accountant, Employee, and Custom Permissions, so you can match access to responsibility. Employees, for example, can't move funds or change critical settings — that stays with Admins and Accountants.

Here's how to manage team members in Clearing:

Simple Steps to Manage Team Members in Clearing

Step 1: Access Team Management Section in Clearing

Log into your Clearing account, navigate to the “Settings” section and select “Team”.

Team account settings

This page displays all current team members along with their assigned team roles and permission levels.

Step 2: Manage Existing Team Members

From the Team Management section, you can manage user access with the following options:

  • Resend Invite – If a user has not accepted their invitation, you can resend the invite to ensure they can access the platform.

  • Edit Permissions – You can modify the permission levels of an existing user to either grant or restrict their access.

  • Block Access – If a team member should no longer have access, blocking them will immediately revoke their permissions.

Edit team member access by adjusting settings.

Step 3: Add a New Team Member

To add a new team member, click on the “+ New Team Member” button.

Add a new team member to the Clearing organization.

You will be prompted to choose the appropriate team role from the following options:

  1. Admin User – Has full organization access, including the ability to invite and manage team members.

  2. Accountant Role – Can oversee financial transactions but cannot manage team access or move funds.

  3. Employee Role – Limited access to organizational data; cannot move funds or manage other team members.

  4. Custom Permissions – Allows you to configure specific permission levels based on individual needs.

Once the role is selected, enter the name and email of the team member to be invited, and simply click “Invite Memberbutton to send an invitation.


FAQs

  • Can the same user be invited with different roles — for example, as both a vendor and an employee?

    • Not directly. Each email can only be tied to one role. If someone needs two roles, use an email alias with a "+1" tag — for example, [email protected] for one role and [email protected] for the other.

  • Can I give a team member only partial access to Clearing?

    • Yes, use the Custom Permissions role. You can grant or restrict access by area, including:

      • Transactions, accounts, bookings, categories, rules

      • Owner statements, management statements, homeowners

      • Reporting, receipts, invoices, draft payments, payables

      • Team, profile, integrations, documents, recipients

      • Hide balances, product support

  • How can I invite a user to my account?

    • Go to Settings → Team, then click "New Team Member." Select a role, then enter the user's first name and email. They'll get an invite link to set their password — it expires in 1–2 hours.

    • This flow is for Admin, Accountant, Team Member, and Custom roles only:

      • Owners are invited from Assets & Owners → Owners

      • Vendors are managed from Payables & Vendors → Vendors
