## Grant Dashboard Access for Linked Accounts

You can grant Dashboard access, enable refunds capability and refund credits for the linked accounts.

### Grant Dashboard Access

You can grant Dashboard access to your linked accounts. After the access is granted, the recipient linked account is notified of this action through a mail (sent to the email address used for onboarding), along with a password reset option.

You can provide Dashboard access while adding a new account.

If you want to provide access to the Dashboard for an existing account:

1. Navigate to the **Accounts** tab.
2. Turn on the **Dashboard Access** toggle against the relevant account.

For more details, refer to the [Linked Account Dashboard](/payments/route/linked-account#grant-dashboard-access-to-linked-accounts) documentation.

### Enable Refunds Capability

Due to government regulations, in certain cases, linked accounts have to directly process refunds to customers.

You can enable refunds capability while adding a new account.

If you want to enable refunds capability for an existing account:

1. Navigate to the **Accounts** tab.
2. Turn on the **Enable Refunds** toggle against the relevant account.

### Enable Refund Credits

By default, refunds are processed using the linked account’s unsettled balance. However, Razorpay Route provides the option to use a Refund Credits pool to process these transactions, instead of the existing unsettled balance.

Upon gaining access, funds can be transferred to the Refunds Credits pool through a specific account number shared by you. Enable Refund Credits for a linked account by sending an email to your Razorpay account manager with these details:

* Linked account name
* Email ID
* Balance type (Refund Credit)

## Export Account Information

You can export account information in .csv format for your business needs. Click **Export All (CSV)** to initiate the download.
