Open the Billing Portal as an Admin
Last updated on Aug 30, 2026
Maxio superusers can open a Customer's Billing Portal directly, without needing the Customer's own management link or login. This is useful for verifying portal configuration, troubleshooting a Customer-reported issue, or confirming what a Customer sees, without asking them for access.
WARNING: Opening the Billing Portal this way grants the same access the Customer has, not a read-only view. Any action taken — updating a payment method, changing a plan, canceling a Subscription — happens on the Customer's live account.
To open the Billing Portal as an admin
- Navigate to the Customer's Subscription.
- From the subscription header's actions dropdown, select Open Billing Portal as Admin.
What to expect
- This option only appears for superusers, and only when the Billing Portal is enabled for the Site.
- Access isn't cached or rate-limited — it's meant for support/admin use, so it's available on demand.
- Every use is logged with the admin's identity and a timestamp.
