Admin Roles Explained: Admin vs Super AdminUpdated 2 months ago

In One Good Card for Teams, there are 2 key admin roles: Admin and Super Admin. Each role comes with different access levels to help your organisation stay secure, organised, and scalable, especially when managing team members, templates, serial numbers, and billing.

What is an Admin?

An Admin in OGC for Teams is someone responsible for managing digital business cards of the organisation, such as onboarding staff, applying templates, updating profiles, and managing serial numbers. Admins help keep the team running smoothly without having full control over sensitive account or billing settings.

What is a Super Admin?

A Super Admin has the highest level of control in the OGC for Teams dashboard. This role is usually assigned to the main account owner or someone who manages billing and high-level organisation settings.

⚠️ Important:

  • Only 1 Super Admin is allowed per team.

Admin vs Super Admin: What’s the Difference?

  • Profile & Team Management: Both roles can manage members, edit profiles, and apply templates.
  • Serial & Hardware Management: Both roles can manage serial numbers via Serial Vault (link, unlink, transfer).
  • Assign Admin: Only Super Admin will be able to assign new admins. 
  • Billing & Subscription: Only Super Admin or Billing Owner will be able to control billing, invoices, payment settings, and plan changes.
