# Set permissions for billing account admins

As a Billing Account Administrator, you can set the following types of permissions at the account level.

You can:

- **Grant or revoke the ability to create applications**. Applications belong to billing accounts. You [control a user's ability to create an application](/v1/docs/controlling-users-ability-to-create-apps) within your account.
- **Grant support-level management rights**. When you [grant support-level management rights](/v1/docs/add-a-billing-account-administrator) to another user, you give them the ability to manage some administrative tasks, but not to control the entire account.
- **Grant full management rights**. To replace yourself as the billing account manager, or if you need to share all billing account administration with someone else, you can use this feature to [grant complete control over your account](/v1/docs/change-the-billing-account-administrator).
- **Grant permission to build pipelines**. You can [specify who can build pipelines](/v1/docs/managing-who-can-build-pipelines) and what channels they have access to.
- **Designate one or more account administrators to receive reset requests.** If you're an account administrator for an account that is part of a realm, you can designate one or more account administrators to receive and handle user requests for a [security question and answer reset](/v1/docs/reset-security-question).
- **Deactivate a user's Quickbase account**. If you own a user's email address, you can deactivate that user's Quickbase account. Doing so means that the person can no longer sign into Quickbase at all.
- **Deny any user access to your account**. Even when you don't control a user's email address, you can still keep them out of your account by [denying access](/v1/docs/remove-a-users-access-permissions) to any application that you own.
