You can provide Portal access to those who make financial decisions for the registered company by creating specific user roles: *Finance* or *Financial Contact*. These roles determine the user's permissions to manage the account.

<Note>
  Only Company Admins can create or edit user roles.
</Note>

A *Finance* user can:

* Place and approve orders
* View and delete services
* Create, view, and modify service keys
* View financial data
* Make payments
* Create, edit, and delete credit card records

The *Financial Contact* role is similar to a *Finance* role, but does not have permissions to place or approve orders, delete services, or administer service keys.

A *Financial Contact* user can:

* View and design services
* View the Megaport Marketplace profile
* View financial data
* Make payments
* Create, edit, and delete credit card records

**To create a financial user role**

1. Visit the <Link href="https://portal.megaport.com">Megaport Portal</Link> and log in.

2. Choose User Menu > Admin Settings > Manage Users.

   The Manage Users page appears. On this page, you can view existing users, add a new user, edit existing user permissions and contact information, and reset Multi-Factor Authentication per user.

3. Click **New User** to create a new Finance user role.
   <Image src="/images/finance/new-user.png" alt="New user" shadow={true} width={600} />

4. Provide the following information:

   * **Contact details** -- The first name, last name, email address, and phone number of the financial contact.

   * **Role** -- The financial role for the new user. Permissions vary by role.

5. Click **Save**.

   For more information about user roles and permissions, see [Managing User Roles](/portal-admin/user-management/roles).
