# Approving Payouts

Approve a payout using the Client Portal.

You can approve a payout using the Client Portal. A user linked to your account can submit a payout. The Owner or Administrator of the account can then review the payout and approve it. Users that have a custom role with that permission can also approve payouts.

> **Note:**
>
> This procedure requires **Owner** or **Administrator** privileges to approve payouts. The linked user must have the role of **Editor** or a custom role to submit payouts for approval.
>
> A user role can have the following permissions for payouts: **approve only**, **submit only**, or **both**. See [Creating a New User Role](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/creating-a-new-user-role.md "Creating a New User Role") for more information.
