PURPOSE: This article explains the various roles available in the Atomic Portal and how to set them up.
TABLE OF CONTENTS |
1. Role Management
Role Management controls the various permissions and accesses available to users in the Atomic Portals (both Sandbox and Production).
There are 5 roles in the Atomic Portal that are customisable according to the needs of your organisation : Super User, Administrator, Customer Service, Reporter, and Operations.
NOTE
It is up to you to define the permissions and privileges that you want to give to each role. Taking the Super User role as an example, you could decide to give access to all available privileges, or you could decide to only give access to Transactions privileges.
There is a default Role Management set-up that is available, i.e. you don't necessarily have to change anything it if the proposed set-up is fit for purpose.
If your organisation is composed of different hierarchy locations (child accounts), you can configure role management and choose the privileges that make up a role per hierarchy location.
However if you do so, please ensure that the hierarchy location at the top (i.e. the parent account) has all the accesses and privileges of the child accounts to avoid conflicts.
Role management is split into 5 sections (Transactions, Settings, Virtual Terminal, Pay By Link, Mandate), each of which having their own permissions and privileges as listed in Section 2. Permissions and privileges.
NOTE
- No new roles can be created beyond the 5 existing ones
- Privileges cannot be changed or amended
NOTE
To access Role Management, head to the Atomic Portal and click on the Settings icon in the left-hand side menu.
