Assigning coins to managers or leadership only

Set the Default Allowance to 0 in Rewards Settings, then add a Custom Allowance for each manager or leader. Only they will have coins to give away.

Matter Admins can control coin allowances at both a company-wide level (Default Allowance) and at an individual level (Custom Allowance).

Who can use this: Workspace Owners and Admins on the Pro and Enterprise plans, or on any plan during the free trial. Works the same for Slack and Microsoft Teams workspaces.

For an overview of the whole feature, read the Rewards Guide. Related articles: Change coin allowances reset frequency and Assigning coins to a group of members.

If you want only managers or leadership to have coins to give away, go to Rewards Settings and set the Default Allowance to 0. Then add a Custom Allowance for each manager or leader.

Because custom allowances override the default, only those individuals will have coins. Everyone else will not see the option to add coins when giving kudos; it will be hidden for them.

For more details, see our article on setting default and custom allowances.
