Grant Stripe Radar Access for Analysts (No Payout Permissions)

Keep fraud analysis separate from money movement

Analysts need to review disputes, rules, and patterns—but they don’t need to change bank accounts or issue refunds. Stripe supports per-user roles: use them to keep Radar work isolated.

Safe access pattern

1. Invite by email with an analyst-level role (read/triage for payments, full access to Radar review queues only).
2. Require MFA/SSO for all team members touching payments or fraud.
3. Turn on alerts for new API keys and rule changes; review regularly.
4. Stage rule changes (test mode or simulations) before enabling in production.

Operational hygiene

• No secrets in tickets/chats. Deliver anything sensitive via one-time, expiring links + a separate access code. Basics: The Safe Way to Share Passwords in 2025 (No Email).
• Two-person review for rules that block/allow traffic broadly.
• Quarterly access reviews: remove dormant users and rotate any tokens they touched. Sweep old messages: Audit Your Old Messages (90-Minute Sweep).

Bottom line

Analysts get Radar, not payouts. Enforce MFA, stage changes, alert on key events, and review access on a schedule.
