Billing permissions
Last updated May 4, 2026 Access to billing features in the Cloudflare dashboard depends on the role assigned to each account member. This page maps each billing action to the required role.
Roles and billing capabilities
| Action | Super Administrator | Administrator | Billing |
|---|---|---|---|
| View invoices and billing history | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Download invoice PDFs | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| View billable usage dashboard | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Pay an outstanding balance | Yes | No | Yes |
| Add or update payment methods | Yes | No | Yes |
| Change billing address | Yes | No | Yes |
| Change billing email | Yes | No | Yes |
| Set up budget alerts | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Change or cancel subscriptions | Yes | Yes | No |
| Upgrade or downgrade a domain plan | Yes | Yes | No |
| Manage account members and roles | Yes | No | No |
Note
The Billing role can view and pay but cannot change subscriptions or plans. To both manage subscriptions and handle payments, a user needs the Super Administrator role.
Assign the Billing role
- Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard ↗︎.
- Select your account.
- Go to Manage Account > Members.

- Go to My Profile > API Tokens.
- Select Create Token.
- Use the Custom token template.
- Under Permissions, select Account > Billing > Read (or Edit).
