Company Administrators can perform all payment functions through Payway Payment Manager  and are subject to no restrictions. Only a Company Administrator has the ability to log on to the Payway Administrator tool: [https://edgilpayway.com/payway\_admin/logon.jsp](https://edgilpayway.com/payway_admin/logon.jsp) You should provide [Payway customer support](mailto:support@payway.com) with the appropriate individual(s) who will have Administrator access for your company. Payway will create the initial Company Administrator(s) and supply those users with a temporary password. Once your Company Administrator(s) have access, they will have the ability to create additional Company Administrators if desired.

This can be useful for consolidating payments from different sources in cases where development to a real-time Payway API is not possible or is cost prohibitive. By default, permissions to “SUBMIT A FILE” and “FILE REPORTS” are not granted. Your Company Administrator must assign these privileges to company users that wish to upload and view file reports. - [Using Payway Payment Manager](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/using-payway-payment-manager?hsLang=en#main-content) - [User admin](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/using-payway-payment-manager?hsLang=en#user-admin) - [Integration Guides](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/integration-guides?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Apple Pay](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/integration-guides?hsLang=en#apple-pay) - [Google Pay](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/integration-guides?hsLang=en#google-pay) - [Payment Processing 101](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-processing-101?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Payment Gateway](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-processing-101?hsLang=en#payment-gateway) - [Pricing & Fees](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-processing-101?hsLang=en#pricing-fees) - [Payment Types](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-types?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Contactless Payments](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-types?hsLang=en#contactless-payments) - [ACH Payments](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-types?hsLang=en#ach-payments) - [Payment Security](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-security?hsLang=en#main-content) - [P2PE (Point-to-Point Encryption)](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-security?hsLang=en#p2pe-point-to-point-encryption) - [Tokenization](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-security?hsLang=en#tokenization) - [3D Secure](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-security?hsLang=en#3d-secure) - [Merchant Account Services](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/merchant-account-services?hsLang=en) - [Payment Gateway Features](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/payment-gateway-features?hsLang=en) - [Failed Payment Recovery](https://support.payway.com/knowledge/failed-payment-recovery?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.payway.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo%20for%20email-1.jpg?width=100&height=24&name=logo%20for%20email-1.jpg "Chill listening crop-3")](https://payway.com) Copyright © 2026, Payway
