Solidgate Hub is your central control center for running payment operations, reviewing analytics, managing products, and reducing fraud risk. With the Solidgate Hub, you can focus on growing your business while efficiently managing day-to-day operations. To keep your business data secure while collaborating, the Hub provides role-based access control so you can decide exactly who can view data and which actions each team member can take.

Access control lives under the account name menu in the top-left corner, split across two pages.

  • Roles lists predefined system roles, lets you create and manage custom roles, and shows the operations each role can perform.
  • User management invites team members, assigns roles, and handles status, password, and two-factor authentication (2FA) actions.

Merchant admins can reset passwords and 2FA, and delete, block, or unblock users when access needs a change. They can also help handle access for lockouts and sign-in issues.

To maintain account security, 2FA is turned on by default and cannot be turned off. Merchant admins can reset it for users on the User details page when needed.

Roles and access

A role is a named set of operations. An operation is a single Hub action, such as viewing orders, refunding a payment, managing API keys, or inviting users. Operations are grouped by Hub section, including Payments, Developers, Account settings, and Cards or alternative payment methods (APMs) subgroups where those pages exist.

The Hub supports two role types.

  • Predefined roles are system roles with a fixed set of operations. You can view their operations and duplicate them into a custom role, but you cannot edit or delete them.
  • Custom roles are merchant-defined. You select any combination of public operations, set a name and description, and manage the role over time.

You can assign one or more roles to a user within an account. Effective permissions are the union of all operations from every assigned role. Assign only the roles each team member needs for their duties.

Role management includes creating, editing, duplicating, and deleting custom roles. It is available to Merchant admin by default. You can grant the same operations to another role through a custom role.

Predefined roles

Predefined roles cover common team functions. Click on the account name in the top-left corner and select Roles to browse cards for each role, then open a role to inspect its full list of operations.

Typical predefined roles include the following.

  • Merchant admin has the broadest access across payments, billing, fraud prevention, finances, developers, account settings, and user management.
  • Team lead covers day-to-day operations on orders and billing data, excluding advanced financial and account settings available to Merchant admin.
  • Manager focuses on operational work across orders and billing, with restricted access to financial and advanced settings.
  • Analyst reads and has access to dashboards, orders, billing data, reports, and analytics.
  • Support tier 1, Support tier 2, and Support tier 3 provide tiered support access. Higher tiers add dispute handling and related actions.
  • Dispute support focuses on dispute resolution and related order and risk work.
  • Developer covers technical tools such as channels, Apple Pay domains, API limits, and API logs, without business or financial operations.
  • Alert manager focuses on prevention alerts, fraud notifications, and related risk signals.
  • Finance manager covers settlements, monthly reports, billing financial views, and related reporting.
  • Authorized signatory is limited to agreements, legal entities, questionnaires, and document signing.

Hub To view operations for a predefined role

  1. Click on the account name in the top-left corner and select Roles.
  2. In Predefined roles, click on the role card.

Use Duplicate on a predefined role when you need a starting point for a custom role with the same operations.

Custom roles

Custom roles let you define exactly which operations a team member can perform. You select operations by section, set a name, and add a description. Custom roles are owned by the merchant account. Solidgate does not change their operation set automatically when system roles change.

Create custom role

You can duplicate a custom role from the Custom roles table or duplicate a predefined role from its details panel. The copy appears as Copy of followed by the original role name, keeps the same operations, and becomes a custom role you can edit.

Hub To duplicate a custom role

  1. Click on the account name in the top-left corner and select Roles.
  2. Find the role in the Custom roles table.
  3. In the Actions column, click on the three-dot menu and select Duplicate.
  4. Open the copy to rename it or adjust operations.
Copy role to another account

Copy a custom role from one Hub account to another, regardless of whether the accounts belong to the same organization, to keep permissions consistent without rebuilding the role manually in every account.

Hub To export a role

  1. In the account you are copying the role from, click on the account name in the top-left corner and select Roles.
  2. Click on the role in the Custom roles table to open its details panel.

  2. Click on Import.
  3. Select the exported role file to add it as a custom role.
Copying a role does not affect or modify the original role in the source account. Role assignments to merchant user groups are not carried over with the copy. Import fails if a role with the same name already exists in the target account.
Delete custom role
Hub To delete a custom role

A role cannot be deleted while users are assigned to it. Reassign or remove all assigned users first. The role details panel lists assigned users so you can update them before deleting.

User management

User management is where you invite team members, assign roles, and manage account status. Filter the list by email, role, or status, then open a row to work with User details.

Invite user

Hub To invite a user

  1. Click on the account name in the top-left corner and select User management.
  2. Click on Invite user.
  3. Enter the email address and select one or more roles.
  4. Send the invitation and wait for the recipient to accept it before the link expires.

If an invitation expires and the account stays inactive, send a new invitation from User management.

Assign roles

Hub To assign or change roles

  1. Click on the account name in the top-left corner and select User management.
  2. Click on the user email to open User details.
  3. In the Roles section, click on Edit.
  4. Select or clear roles in the multi-select list.
  5. Click on Save to confirm changes.

A user can hold several roles at once, including a mix of predefined and custom roles. Permissions accumulate across all selected roles.

Manage user access

On User details, Merchant admins and roles with the matching operations can take these actions.

  • Block or unblock the user and record a block reason when needed
  • Reset password so the user can set a new password
  • Reset 2FA so the user can enroll an authenticator again
  • Delete user to remove access from the current Hub account only
Blocking a user can affect every Hub account that the person can access. If someone should leave only one merchant account, use Delete user on that account instead of blocking.

Audit log

Audit log records actions performed by users within Hub and provides a single source of truth for activity tracking. It captures who performed an action, what happened, where it occurred, and when, including data changes.

This supports security monitoring, analysis of user activity, and compliance requirements.

Hub To view logged actions

  1. Click on the account name in the top-left corner and select Audit log.
  2. Find the user in the list.
  3. Optionally, use filters to narrow the search. Click on Apply, and see the results.

Each audit log entry includes user role, user email, IP address, object ID, object type, action description, and timestamp. Logs become available within five seconds after an action, providing near-real-time visibility into activity.

Use the audit log to identify changes made to entities, track actions by role, review entity change history, and analyze login activity.


Handle access

Solidgate Hub applies several security measures to protect accounts, including role-based access management, automatic lockouts, mandatory 2FA, and Google sign-in.

Account lockout

After multiple failed login attempts, the account locks automatically for 30 minutes.

You can restore access in these ways.

  • If you remember your password, wait 30 minutes for automatic unblocking or ask a Merchant admin to unblock the account in the User management section.
  • If you have issues with your password or 2FA, ask a Merchant admin to reset your password or 2FA in the User management section.
  • If the standard methods do not work, contact us to restore account access.

2FA

2FA is required for all roles by default. To avoid sign-in issues, confirm that your authenticator app is set up correctly and that your device time is synchronized.

These are common 2FA issues and how to resolve them.

  • Not valid verification codes Verify that you are using the correct authenticator app and that your device time is set automatically. Turn on the automatic date and time in your device settings, then try again.
  • Lost or broken authenticator device Ask the Merchant admin to reset 2FA. After the reset, set up 2FA again on your new device.
  • Moving 2FA to a new device Ask the Merchant admin to reset 2FA, then complete the setup on the new device.
  • Errors during 2FA setup First, ask the Merchant admin to reset 2FA, then try setting up 2FA again. If the issue continues, contact us to restore account access.

Google sign-in

Solidgate Hub supports Google sign-in to simplify the login process. You can sign in using your Google account instead of entering your email and password. To use this option, first link your Google account.

Hub To link your Google account

  1. In the sidebar, select your account at the bottom.
  2. Go to Profile settings > Personal.
  3. Click on Link your Google account.
  4. Follow the instructions to link your Google account.

Once linked, you can select Sign in with Google on the Hub sign-in page to access your account without entering credentials. If you lose access to your Google account, you can still sign in with your password or contact the Merchant admin to reset your Google sign-in.
