User Management entitlements and permissions for banks

User management offers granular permissions so that organization admins can tailor an individual’s access to money movement. Organization admins control which entitlements their organization users interact with as well as which accounts the users can or cannot access to move funds. Enterprise users can also view—and in some occasions manage—the same permissions in Banno Admin.

Granular entitlements and permissions

For security purposes, permissions can override one another. An organization user can only see an entitlement and use its functionality if that entitlement’s “parent” permission(s) are configured to allow it. For example, if an organization user needs access to upload ARP/Positive Pay, an enterprise user first ensures that the ARP/Positive Pay entitlement is enabled in the organization’s profile in Banno People. Then, the organization admin should complete the following in Banno Online:

1. In User management, navigate to the organization user’s profile.
2. They select Set permissions to view the organization user permissions.
3. In the ARP/Positive Pay section, ensure the Enabled permission’s toggled on.
   • An FI employee can also validate the permission in the organization user’s profile in Banno People.
4. In the same section, ensure the Upload ARP/Positive Pay permission’s enabled.
5. The organization admin navigates back to the organization user’s profile.
6. They select the account that the organization user needs to upload ARP/Positive Pay.
7. In the Account access permission section, ensure the Enable permission’s toggled on.
8. In the ARP/Positive Pay permission section, ensure the Upload ARP/Positive Pay permission’s enabled.

If any permissions in this flow aren’t enabled correctly, ARP/Positive Pay functionality in the account might not display or work properly.

Organization user permissions

Banno Online

Organization user permissions for entitlements display in the organization user’s profile. Within the profile, an organization admin can manage these permissions for how the organization user views and interacts with entitlements. This includes the individual’s access to Wires, ACH, and more. These permissions apply to the overall functionality of an entitlement. Because some permissions interact with others, tooltips display alongside certain permissions in the app, helping guide the organization admin to correctly enable functionality. If applicable, these dependencies are noted in a permission’s definition.

Depending on your institution configuration and an organization’s entitlements, organization user permissions may vary but can include:

• ACH
• ARP/Positive Pay
• Card management
• Stop payments
• Transfers
• Wires

Banno People

In Banno People, enterprise users can access the same organization user permissions. When an enterprise user selects View all at the bottom of the Organization user permissions section, permissions for entitlements and feature entitlements display. Enterprise users can manage entitlement permissions, but they can only view feature entitlement permissions. For managing feature entitlement permissions, an organization admin has the ability to do so with User management in Banno Online.

Organization user account permissions

Banno Online

The organization admin can edit an organization user’s access to an individual account and their account permissions, including stopping payments, transferring funds to and from an account, and more. Depending on your institution and an organization’s configurations, organization user permissions for an account may vary but can include:

• Account access
• ARP/Positive Pay
• Stop payments
• Transfers
• Wires

Banno People

In Banno People, enterprise users can view the same organization user account permissions. For managing an organization user’s account permissions, an organization admin has the ability to do so with User management in Banno Online.

If Wires is disabled for a user on Brand A, then Wires will need to also be manually disabled for that user on Brand B.

View-only permission settings

Select permissions can be enabled so that an organization user views the functionality in the Banno app and cannot use it for actions such as moving funds or updating permissions. This includes allowing an organization user to view-only ACH, stop payments, transfers, user management, and wires. The ability to view-only is unavailable for card payments and Positive pay. If an organization user needs to view one or both functionalities in the Banno app, they will also have the ability to use it.

At the organization user level, adjust the following permissions in Banno People or Banno Online so that the organization user can only view the functionality:

ACH

1. Enable the Enabled permission.
2. Enable the View ACH permission.
3. Disable all other ACH permissions.

Stop payments

1. Enable the Enabled permission.
2. Disable all other stop payments permissions.

Transfers

1. Enable the Enabled permission.
2. Set the transfer limit to zero.
3. Disable all other transfers permissions.

User management

1. Ensure the organization user has the role of Viewer.
2. Enable the Enabled permission.

Wires

1. Enable the Enabled permission.
2. Disable all other wires permissions.

History events

Changes made in user management (updating a permission, modifying an organization user profile, etc.) by an admin user or organization admin create history events in Banno Admin. History events display in the organization user’s Activity and can be sorted using the Permissions filter under User. Banno Activity also records history events and can be sorted using the Permissions filter under People Users.

If changes occur on core or in NetTeller BackOffice, history events won’t display in Banno Admin.
