Account Admins πŸ’Έ

Who an Account Admin is: By default, the person who initiates a paid plan for your team will be the main Account Admin/Account Owner. They may add additional Account Admins on the billing page in the dashboard:
​

1. Login with your Slack credentials at app.donut.ai.
2. Click Billing from the left sidebar menu.

3. Go to the Account Admins tab.
4. Search for the Slack user and add them to the list.
​
On this tab, you can also transfer the ownership of your account to another person by clicking the Transfer Owner link next to your name.

Account Admin permissions: Account Admins can manage the billing details for your team and access your entire invoice history. Also, Account Admins can change the settings of Donut channels in the dashboard (with the exception of private channels they’re not a member of).
​
Wondering what billing details can be updated? Please see the following:
​
1. The payment method from which we collect your subscription dues.

2. The plan your team uses (Account Admins can upgrade or downgrade your plan).

3. Your team's billing email and physical address.
