- Any user is made Billing Admin when they upgrade their team. That does not automatically give them Admin rights. The Billing Admin is the cardholder and they have access to Billing settings (as long as the Billing admin is a member of the paid team) since they're the one paying for the subscription. They can buy or remove seats, cancel the subscription and re-activate it, request refunds. However, they cannot remove users, manage permissions, apps and don't have access to other account settings if they don't have Admin rights.
Billing Admins can request Admin rights: go to Account settings > Active users, click the three dots next to your name, and choose Send request.
