User Management
Finances are often managed by different people at a business, all with various levels of responsibility. When an business leader needs to give account access to their employees, there are a wealth of entitlements and settings available to manage their permissions. With Banno Business’s User management, business admins can add new business users, edit details, and assign roles in Banno Online. They can also manage the overall permissions of business users, allow access to specific accounts, and control an business user’s permissions on an account-by-account basis.
Activity
Actions and activity taken by business users or on behalf of business users are captured and displayed for business users and institution admins. The types of activity that displays will depend upon which feed is being viewed. The business user Activity feed (only available in Banno People) will show every event and action taken by the user or on behalf of the user, the same as the Activity feed for retail users. The business Activity feed, which is an aggregation of all activity in the business across all users, is not as granular. Instead, this feed shows only key business actions taken by business users. These include but are not limited to:
- Money movement
- Modifying entitlements and permissions
- Updating business and business user profile settings
Some business actions, however, are not yet visible from the business Activity feed. There is an ongoing effort to incorporate these actions into the feed, but the following events are known to not display:
- Bill payments
- Payees added
- Payees deleted
- Transfers
As new activity events occur, a new activity banner displays the number of new events at the top of the feed. Clicking the banner immediately updates the activity feed to display the new events.
At the top of the activity feed, a business user can filter events by time frame, a business user’s name, and the type of event. They can also download activity history in to a .csv file.

Business users
Profile
Banno Online
A list of all business users—including their name, role, and status—display on the User management dashboard. When a specific business user is selected, their profile information displays on a new screen and includes the following details:
- Avatar
- A profile image uploaded by the business user.
- Name
- The business user’s name is a maximum of 40 characters and editable by an business admin.
- Username
- The username is the name that a member of a business uses to login to the app.
- Role
- Roles only apply to what an business user can do within User management. The business user has an assigned role of Admin, Viewer, or User. A business user’s role can be changed by an business admin.
- Admin
- The Admin role gives an business user access to view or modify entitlements, set permissions for all business users, and manage business users (create, delete, etc.). They can also edit an business user’s profile details. Business admins cannot change their own roles; however, they can update a fellow admin’s role. User management must be enabled for each business admin.
- Viewer
- The Viewer role gives an business user access to view information in User management. They have the same access as an an business admin, but they can’t edit entitlements or set permissions. This role is ideal for auditors your institution works with. User management must be enabled for each business viewer.
- User
- The User role is for business members whose jobs involve performing day-to-day banking activities that don’t require user management rights. They can move money based on their entitlements and permissions, but they don’t have access to use or view the User management screen .
- Status
- A business user’s status can be Active, Pending, Disabled, or Locked. Excluding the Pending status, authorized institution personnel can manage an business user’s status in NetTeller BackOffice.
- Active
- The business user successfully joins the business by completing the app login process.
- Pending
- The business user has yet to successfully complete the app login process and join the business. A business admin submitted the business user’s details—first and last name, email, and role—when they created the new business user. The business user may or may not have accounts enabled. They may or not have already been invited to complete the app login process, but they must create their login credentials and log in to the app in order to change from a Pending status to an Active one—logging in to the app is required to change their status.
- Disabled
- The business user can’t log in to the app, and their account can’t be re-enabled.
- Locked
- The business user incorrectly entered their login credentials three or more times, and the account needs to be unlocked before the business user can successfully login.
- The business user’s email is a maximum of 80 characters and editable by an business admin.
- Business details
- The business’s business name, address, phone number, and email. This information matches the details listed in the business’s profile.

Create
Depending on an business user’s role, a newly created member of the business might need access to User management. If so, an institution employee needs to enable the User management entitlement for the member of the business.
Banno Online
- User management
- Manage users
- + Create user
A business admin creates a new business user by selecting + Create user in the Manage users window. Then, the business admin provides the following details in the Create user screen:
- First name
- The new business user’s first name.
- Last name
- The new business user’s last name.
- The new business user’s email. A Banno-generated email with a magic link sends to this email address so that the new business user can create their account credentials and log in to the Banno app.
- User role
- The user role determines what an business user can do within User management.
After providing the new business user’s details, the business admin selects Create user and completes a high risk authorization by entering their Banno app password. If there are three incorrect attempts, the business user is logged out of the app and their account locks. Their account will need to be unlocked.
Following a successful high risk authorization, the Enable accounts window displays. At this point, the new business user is yet to be informed of a created profile, has no credentials, and can’t to log in to the app. In the Enable accounts window, the new business user’s avatar, name, role, Pending status, and option to Enabled accounts display. By default, no accounts are automatically enabled, and the business admin needs to manually enable at least one account for the new business user.
To enable one or more accounts, the business admin clicks Select and the Account access window displays the business’s accounts to select from. The business admin can search accounts by account name and quickly enable or disable permissions to all accounts. After enabling one or more account and selecting Done, the business admin automatically navigates back to the Enable accounts window where it’s updated to display the number of enabled accounts (ex. 4 accounts, 12 accounts, All accounts, etc.). Although the account access displays as enabled, know that the accounts still won’t display as enabled in the new business user’s profile.
With the business admin still on the Enable accounts screen, they click the Enable Accounts button. A success message appears, and the business admin selects from one of the three following buttons:
- Send email invite
- If the business user’s account or user permissions don’t need updating, the business admin should send an email inviting the new business user to enroll in the Banno Digital Platform. After clicking the button, the business admin automatically returns to the Manage users screen where the new business user displays in a Pending state.
- Edit permissions
- If the business user’s account or user permissions need to be updated before they’re invited to enroll in the Banno Digital Platform, the business admin should click Edit permissions. This automatically navigates the business admin to the new business user’s profile where permissions can be updated and then invited. The new business user displays in a Pending state.
- Done
- Clicking Done returns the business admin to the Manage users screen where the new business user displays in a Pending state. An email invite doesn’t send to the new business user.
Once the success message appears, the selected accounts display as enabled in the new business user’s profile.

Default permissions
Default permissions are automatically assigned to new business users and can be updated on an individual basis with User management in the Banno app. Default permissions themselves can be managed by an institution on the host, and an institution can refer to NetTeller documentation for more information.
Invite
A business admin needs to invite newly created business users and business users with a Pending status to create their credentials so that they can log in to the Banno app. The invitation is an automated email generated by Banno and includes a link that takes the business user to a screen where they create their Banno username and password.
Banno Online
The business admin can send the invite in one of two ways:
-
When they successfully create a new business user, select Send an email invite.
-
The business admin emails an invite from the business user’s profile by selecting Invite at the top of the profile.
In the new business user’s profile, a notification banner displays at the top of the screen: [Business user’s first and last name] account is pending. Invite them to complete set-up of their account. A business admin can only invite the new business user if one or more account is enabled. If no account is enabled, the error message Unable to invite user displays when clicking Invite. To enable one or more accounts for the new business user, an account’s Access permission needs to be selected. After enabling one one or more account, the business admin can refresh the page to ensure the screen updates. Then, they can successfully select Invite to send an email notifying the new business user to enroll in the Banno Digital Platform.
The name of the business admin who sent the invite and the option to click Join display in the email. After clicking the link, the business user automatically navigates to the app enrollment window and creates their username and password. After successfully creating their credentials, they view a Successfully created account message and click the Sign in button to navigate to the Banno Online login screen. If the business user unsuccessfully creates their username and password, they view an error message and should retry creating their credentials.
Banno People
An institution admin can view the business user’s Pending status, but they are unable to send an invite.
NetTeller
A business admin can invite an business user from NetTeller. The invitation from NetTeller contains a link to a NetTeller webpage–rather than Banno webpage–where the business user creates their NetTeller & Banno credentials (the same as they do today). Once they create their credentials and log in, they can use the existing SSO to navigate to Banno. To log in to Banno, they’ll use the same credentials they used to log into NetTeller.
NetTeller BackOffice
In NetTeller BackOffice, an institution can invite a business user. For additional information, please refer to NetTeller documentation.

When an business user incorrectly enters their login credentials three or more times, their profile status is Locked. A business admin needs to unlock the account before the business user can successfully log in. At the top of the business’s user profile, a notification banner displays at the top of the screen: [Business user first and last name]’s account access is locked due to multiple incorrect login attempts.
A business admin successfully unlocks an business user’s account by selecting the Unlock button in the banner. This changes the business user’s status from Locked to Active, and the business admin can select I’m done or Send password reset link in the User successfully unlocked message that displays. If I’m done is clicked, the business user can immediately log in to the app. If Send password reset link is clicked, the business user follows emailed instructions so that they can reset their password and log in to the app.

The hold status doesn’t change the business user’s status (active, locked, etc.) in their profile.
To remove a hold on an account, an business admin selects the Remove button that displays in the notification banner at the top of the business user’s profile. Removing a hold is immediate, and the notification banner no longer displays. A success also toast displays when the hold is successfully removed from the business user.

History events
Changes made in user management (updating a permission, modifying an business user profile, etc.) by an admin user or business admin create history events in Banno Admin. History events display in the business user’s Activity and can be sorted using the Permissions filter under User. History events for high risk authorization that are requested, failed, or passed by the business user are captured but do not yet display.
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.
FAQ
- What are the differences in each user role? Can we create a partial admin?
- Business admins can do everything, including edit, as well as delete and create once available. Viewers can see all details about a user, like an auditor, and viewers can also access user management. The user role is a standard user within the business and cannot access user management. This role comparison table can help familiarize business users with the available roles in user management.
There is not currently a partial admin role.
- Why can an business user with a viewer role move funds?
- The viewer role only applies to what the user can do in user management. It doesn’t apply to the permissions that the user can be granted for other parts of the application, but they can be permission’ed so that they only have view-only access.
User management offers granular permissions so that business admins can tailor an individual’s access to money movement. Business admins control which entitlements their business 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
Because user management allows permissions to be customized down to an account-by-account basis, there are four permission levels. The different permission levels and where they’re managed include the following:
1. Institution level
Banno manages permissions so that your institution can offer the functionality to your customers.
2. Business level
- Banno Admin
- Your institution manages permissions in the business’s profile in Banno People.
3. Business user level
- Banno Admin
- In Banno People, institution employees manage permissions for entitlements that allow a business user to use its functionality. Currently, they can only view and not edit permissions for feature entitlements.
- Banno Online
- A business admin manages permissions in User management. They can enable and disable permissions to use an entitlement and feature entitlements.
- NetTeller BackOffice
- Your bank manages permissions in NetTeller BackOffice.
- NetTeller
- Business users manages permissions in NetTeller.
4. Business user account level
- Banno Admin
- Your institution views the permissions in Banno People but currently can’t manage them.
- Banno Online
- A business admin manages permissions in User management.
- NetTeller BackOffice
- Your bank manages permissions in NetTeller BackOffice.
- NetTeller
- Business users manages permissions in NetTeller.
For security purposes, permissions can override one another. A business 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 business user needs access to upload ARP/Positive Pay, an enterprise user first ensures that the ARP/Positive Pay entitlement is enabled in the business’s profile in Banno People. Then, the business admin should complete the following in Banno Online:
- In User management, navigate to the business user’s profile.
- They select Set permissions to view the business user permissions.
- In the ARP/Positive Pay section, ensure the Enabled permission’s toggled on.
- An FI employee can also validate the permission in the business user’s profile in Banno People.
- In the same section, ensure the Upload ARP/Positive Pay permission’s enabled.
- The business admin navigates back to the business user’s profile.
- They select the account that the business user needs to upload ARP/Positive Pay.
- In the Account access permission section, ensure the Enable permission’s toggled on.
- 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.
If the business user has trouble with an entitlement or accessing functionality, the following steps ensure an entitlement is enabled and permissions are turned on at the correct levels:
- Users
- business profile
- Permissions
- In Banno People, the institution employee checks that the entitlement is enabled for the business.
- Users
- business user profile
- Permissions
- Business user permissions
- In Banno People, the institution employee checks that the entitlement is enabled for the member of the business.
- User management
- business user
- Set permissions
- In Banno Online, the business admin adjusts the appropriate permissions in the business user’s permissions.
- User management
- business user
- click account name
- If the business user needs access to view and use an account, in Banno Online the business admin must enable the Account access permission in the business user’s account permissions. Then, the business admin adjusts the permissions specific to an entitlement.
Business user permissions
Banno Online
- User management
- click business user
- Set permissions
Business user permissions for entitlements display in the business user’s profile. Within the profile, an business admin can manage these permissions for how the business 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 business admin to correctly enable functionality. If applicable, these dependencies are noted in a permission’s definition.
Depending on your institution configuration and an business’s entitlements, business user permissions may vary but can include:
- ACH
- ARP/Positive Pay
- Card management
- Stop payments
- Transfers
- Wires
Banno People
- Users
- business user profile
- Permissions
- Business user permissions
In Banno People, enterprise users can access the same business user permissions. When an enterprise user selects View all at the bottom of the Business 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 business admin has the ability to do so with User management in Banno Online.

- The maximum amount in whole dollars—cannot be set with cents—an business user can initiate per day. For example, 25000.00, 14999.00, 10500.00, etc. This field can be set to zero.
- Dual wire control limit
- Wires over this amount require a second business user for approval. The limit must be set in whole dollars—it cannot be set with cents. For example, 25000.00, 14999.00, 10500.00, etc. This field can be set to zero.
- Transmit wires
- Allows the business user to send wires. This includes sending any type of wire, including non-repetitive, repetitive, future-dated, and recurring wires.
- Transmit recurring wires
- Allows the business user to send repetitive, recurring wires (ex. weekly, monthly, etc.).
- Dual wire control
- Requires a second business user to approve wires that are over the dual wire control limit.
- Transmit future-dated wires
- Allows the business user to send wires (non-repetitive or repetitive) as future-dated. The effective date must be greater than the current day’s date.
Dual-branded institutions
For institutions that have multiple brands, feature entitlements will sync across both brands. If Works with wires is enabled for a user on Brand A, then Works with wires will also be enabled for that user on Brand B. However, entitlement permissions do not sync across brands. 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 business 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 business user to view-only ACH, Stop payments, Transfers, and User management. The ability to view-only is unavailable for Card management, Positive pay, and Wires. If an business user needs to view one or both functionalities in the Banno app, they will also have the ability to use it.
At the business user level, adjust the following permissions in Banno People or Banno Online so that the business user can only view the functionality:
ACH
- Enable the Enabled permission.
- Enable the View ACH permission.
- Disable all other ACH permissions.
Stop payments
- Enable the Enabled permission.
- Disable all other stop payments permissions.
Transfers
- Enable the Enabled permission.
- Set the transfer limit to zero.
- Disable all other transfers permissions.
User management
- Ensure the business user has the role of Viewer.
- Enable the Enabled permission.
History events
Changes made in user management (updating a permission, modifying an business user profile, etc.) by an admin user or business admin create history events in Banno Admin. History events display in the business 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.
FAQ
- A business Admin has trouble getting an entitlement to display or a permission working properly for one of their business users. How can I help them?
- Enabling entitlements and getting permissions working properly can be tricky, especially for a new business admin. Checkout out the Entitlements and permissions section for steps on how to assist the business admin.
- What’s the difference between an entitlement and a feature entitlement?
- An entitlement is the overall functionality that an business user moves funds with, such ACH, Wires, Transfers, etc. A feature entitlement is the specific functionality of an entitlement, such as Initiate ACH, Edit one-time wires, View stop payment, etc.
Manage external applications & additional services
- Banno People
- Settings
- External applications
For an institution to manage the visibility of an external application for a business and its business users, the external application must have the User type field set to Business only or Both retail and business.
Once the external application is ready to display to business admins in Banno Online, enable the external application at the institution level in Banno People. This allows the external application to display in the Permissions section of all business profiles across the institution.
When the external application is enabled at the institution level, it is automatically enabled by default at the business level permissions. The external application is also visible, but disabled, to all business admins within User management across the institution. No business user will see the external application until either a business admin or a bank employee has manually enabled it for that user.
If an institution hasn’t enabled any external applications for businesses, the message Your [institution] hasn’t enabled any external applications for businesses. displays until there are enabled external applications.
According to an external application’s configuration, the Link title field displays as the external application title (1) and the Description (optional) field describes the external application (2) to business admins in Banno Online and admin users in Banno People.
Cleaning up external application names
To help easily identify external applications with the same name, some institutions may have been using the Description field to call out the Link type of the application. As this field is now used to give business admin’s context about the external application, institutions may wish to remove this text.
In anticipation of this, we added some additional columns to the External applications list in People to ensure that our institutions can still easily identify external applications with the same name. Now the list of external applications will show the Name, Link title, Link type, and User type. Previously the list only displayed the Name with the Description shown as subtext.
Business permissions
Banno People
- Users
- Click business
- Permissions
- External applications
Once the external application is enabled at the institution level, the external application is automatically enabled by default at the business level. The external application is also visible, but disabled, to all business admins. Having the external application enabled at the business level gives business admins across the institution the ability to then manage visibility of the external application to business users. No business user will see the external application until either a business admin or a bank employee has manually enabled it for that user.
Unlike other permissions, there is not an option for the institution to manage External applications permissions at the business user level without also giving business admins the ability to manage the same permissions.
If an external application is disabled at the business level, the external application:
- Displays as disabled in the business profile in People.
- Does not display to business admins in User management
- Displays as uneditable at the business user level in People. The external application cannot be updated unless it is first enabled at the business level.
Business user permissions
Enabling an external application at the business user level gives them the ability to view the external application in Banno Online.
External application permissions only manage the business user’s ability to see the external application in Banno Online—it does not control access to or login to the external application. If a business user has the link to the external application, such as a bookmark, they can still access the external application while authenticated in Banno Online.
Even if an external application is disabled, the business user may still be able to access the external application directly and perform actions allowed by their application. Permissions for accessing an external application are managed in the external application—not in Banno Online or Banno People.

Permission states
Depending on the level where an external application is or is not enabled, the external application permission may or may not be editable in the business users’s profile. If an editable permission displays, the external application is enabled at the business level (1 & 2). If an uneditable permission displays, the external application is disabled at the business level (3).
If an external application does not display in a business user’s permissions, ensure the external application is enabled at the business levels.
If an external application is disabled in the business profile, ensure the external application is configured with the User type set to either Both retail and business or Business only.
Testing new applications
Sometimes, institutions want to test a new external application with a few business users before enabling it for all businesses. To achieve this, you’ll want to ensure to use the following configuration.
- Set the User type set to either Both retail and business or Business only.
- Disable the external application at the institution level so that it is not enabled by default for all businesses.
- Enable the external application for the business.
- Enable the external application for the business user.
Credit Unions
Finances are often managed by different people at a business, all with various levels of responsibility. When a business leader needs to give account access to their employees, there are a wealth of entitlements and settings available to manage their permissions. With Banno Business’s User management, business admins can add new business users, edit details, and assign roles in Banno Online. They can also manage the overall permissions of business users, allow access to specific accounts, and control a business user’s permissions on an account-by-account basis.
- User profile menu
- Business management

In User management, business admins also manage entitlements and feature entitlements for members directly in the app, including:
-
ACH
-
ARP/Positive Pay
-
Card management
-
Stop payments
-
Transfers
-
Wires
If an admin user does not have access to managing the business and business users, ensure they have the correct People user permissions set in Banno Admin.
With Banno Business, the company name displays alongside the business user’s name at the top of the Banno Apps dashboard and the user menu profile.
Enable and disable entitlement
In Banno People, your institution manages the User management entitlement for both the business and business users. You should ensure the entitlement is enabled for the business, as well as for business users who need access to Banno People.

- Create business
Credit unions can create a business in Banno People. Before an institution admin can create a business, they need the Create everything permission enabled in the People section. The institution admin also needs the Symitar account number associated with the business.
After the institution admin clicks Create business, the Create business window prompts the institution to enter the 10 digit Symitar account number. If the Symitar account number is less than 10 digits, add zeros preceding the account number so that it is 10 digits (ex. 0000987654). Then, the institution admin confirms the account number and reviews the business’s details in the Create business screen that can include:
- Business name
- Symitar account number
- Preference record username (created and assigned by Banno)
- Mobile number
- Address
If the business information is correct, the institution admin clicks Create. After the business is created, the institution admin cannot reverse or undo creating the business.
If the business details are incorrect, the institution admin clicks in the Create business screen to edit the details. If the business has already been created, the institution admin is alerted and can click Go to profile to view the profile screen or to re-enter the Symitar account number.
When the business is successfully created, the institution admin automatically navigates to the business’s Overview profile screen that displays the business’s information. Institution admins can refer to Users and learn more about the Users and Permissions screens.
Business users
Profile
Banno Online
A list of all business users—including their name, role, and status—display on the User management dashboard. When a specific business user is selected, their profile information displays on a new screen and includes the following details:
- Avatar
- A profile image uploaded by the business user.
- Name
- The business user’s name is a maximum of 40 characters and editable by a business admin.
- Username
- The username is the name that a member of a business uses to login to the app.
- Role
- Roles only apply to what a business user can do within User management. The member of a business has an assigned role of Admin, Viewer, or User. A business user’s role can be changed by a business admin.
- Admin
- The Admin role gives a business user access to view or modify entitlements, set permissions for all business users, and manage business users (create, delete, etc.). They can also edit a business user’s profile details. Business admins cannot change their own roles; however, they can update a fellow admin’s role. User management must be enabled for each business admin.
- Viewer
- The Viewer role gives a business user access to view information in User management. They have the same access as a business admin, but they can’t edit entitlements or set permissions. This role is ideal for auditors your institution works with. User management must be enabled for each business viewer.
- User
- The User role is for business members whose jobs involve performing day-to-day banking activities that don’t require user management rights. They can move money based on their entitlements and permissions, but they don’t have access to use or view the User management screen.
- Status
- A business user’s status can be Pending or Active. The status changes from Pending to Active when they have been sent an invitation and completed enrollment.
- Pending
- The business user has yet to successfully complete the enrollment process and join the business. A business admin submitted the business user’s details—first and last name, email, and role—when they created the new business user. The business user may or may not have accounts enabled. To change from a Pending status to Active, they must create their login credentials and log in to the app.
- Active
- The business user successfully joined the business by completing enrollment.
- The business user’s email is a maximum of 80 characters and editable by a business admin.
- Business details
- The business name, address, phone number, and email. This information matches the details listed in the business profile.

Banno Online
- User management
- Manage users
- + Create user
A business admin creates a new business user by selecting + Create user in the Manage users window. Then, the business admin provides the following details in the Create user screen:
- First name
- The new business user’s first name.
- Last name
- The new business user’s last name.
- The new business user’s email. A Banno-generated email with a magic link sends to this email address so that the new business user can create their account credentials and log in to the Banno app.
- User role
- The user role determines what a business user can do within User management.
After providing the new business user’s details, the business admin selects Create user and the Enable accounts window displays. At this point, the new business user is yet to be informed of a created profile, has no credentials, and can’t to log in to the app. In the Enable accounts window, the new business user’s avatar, name, role, Pending status, and option to Enabled accounts display. By default, no accounts are automatically enabled, and the business admin needs to manually enable at least one account for the new business user.
To enable one or more accounts, the business admin clicks Select and the Account access window displays the business’s accounts to select from. The business admin can search accounts by account name and quickly enable or disable permissions to all accounts. After enabling one or more account and selecting Done, the business admin automatically navigates back to the Enable accounts window where it’s updated to display the number of enabled accounts (ex. 4 accounts, 12 accounts, All accounts, etc.). Although the account access displays as enabled, know that the accounts still won’t display as enabled in the new business user’s profile.
With the business admin still on the Enable accounts screen, they click the Enable Accounts button. A success message appears, and the business admin selects from one of the three following buttons:
- Send email invite
- If the business user’s account or user permissions don’t need updating, the business admin should send an email inviting the new business user to enroll in the Banno Digital Platform. After clicking the button, the business admin automatically returns to the Manage users screen where the new business user displays in a Pending state.
- Edit permissions
- If the business user’s account or user permissions need to be updated before they’re invited to enroll in the Banno Digital Platform, the business admin should click Edit permissions. This automatically navigates the business admin to the new business user’s profile where permissions can be updated and then invited. The new business user displays in a Pending state.
- Done
- Clicking Done returns the business admin to the Manage users screen where the new business user displays in a Pending state. An email invite doesn’t send to the new business user.
Once the success message appears, the selected accounts display as enabled in the new business user’s profile.

Credit unions can create a business user in Banno People. Before an institution admin can create a business user, they need the Create everything permission enabled in the People section.
An institution admin creates a new business user by selecting Create user in the business’s Users window. Then, the institution admin provides the following details in the Create user screen:
- First name
- The new business user’s first name.
- Last name
- The new business user’s last name.
- The new business user’s email. A Banno-generated email with a magic link sends to this email address so that the new business user can create their account credentials and log in to the Banno app.
- User role
- The user role determines what a business user can do within User management.
After the business user’s details are entered, the institution admin clicks Create user and completes a high risk authorization by entering their Banno app password. There is no limit to the number of times they can enter their credentials, but they must successfully complete the high risk authorization to create a new business user.
Following a successful high risk authorization, a success message displays and the institution admin selects from one of the three following buttons:
- Send email invite
- If the business user’s account or user permissions don’t need updating, the institution admin should send an email inviting the new business user to enroll in the Banno Digital Platform. If the email invitation successfully sends after clicking Send email invite, a success toast displays on the Users window after the success message automatically closes.
- Go to profile
- If the business user’s account or user permissions need to be updated before they’re invited to enroll in the Banno Digital Platform], the institution admin should click Go to profile. This automatically navigates the institution admin to the new business user’s profile where permissions can be updated and then invited. The new business user displays in a Pending state.
- I’m done
- Clicking I’m done returns the institution admin to the Users screen where the new business user displays in a Pending state. An email invite doesn’t send to the new business user.
While a business user is still created and can log in after completing enrollment, no accounts can be enabled for the business user. Functionality is coming soon to enable accounts for a business user in Banno People.
Default permissions
Permissions for new business users are disabled and need to be updated on an individual basis by a business admin in User management or an admin user in Banno People.
Invite
An institution admin needs to invite newly created business users and business users with a Pending status to create their credentials so that they can log in to the Banno app. The invitation is an automated email generated by Banno and includes a link that takes the business user to a screen where they create their Banno username and password.
Banno Online
A business admin will soon be able to invite a business user from Banno Online—Banno is currently working on this functionality.
Banno People
New business users can be invited from Banno People. The institution admin can send the invite in one of two ways:
- When they successfully create a new business user, select Send an email invite.
- The institution admin emails an invite from the business user’s profile by selecting Invite at the top of the business user’s profile.
In the business user’s profile, a notification banner displays at the top of the screen: [Business user’s first and last name] account is pending. Invite them to complete set-up of their account. The institution admin clicks Invite to send an invitation to the business user.
The name of the institution admin who sent the invite and the option to click Join display in the email. After clicking the link, the business user automatically navigates to the app enrollment window and creates their username and password. After successfully creating their credentials, they view a Successfully created account message and click the Sign in button to navigate to the Banno Online login screen. If the business user unsuccessfully creates their username and password, they view an error message and should retry creating their credentials.

Creating your first admin user
When creating your first administator, you may require that admin to verify their identity before enrolling.
This makes the enrollment process just a bit different for the first admin who tries to enroll. Before completing enrollment, the admin must verify using a phone number stored in the core for that user. These include:
- Home phone
- Work phone (only available without extension)
- Mobile phone
A temporary phone number can also be added via People.
Upon selecting a number, the admin user must enter a code sent to the number selected. After this is complete, the enrollment will continue as normal.
When no valid numbers are displayed
As the numbers presented are based on the primary name record, there is a chance that there may be no valid phone numbers listed. This can be resolved in one of two ways:
- Update the primary name record
- Update the primary name record in your core. These changes will be reflected the first time a magic link is clicked. As such, the admin user will need to be sent a new invitation.
- Enter a temporary phone number
- A temporary phone number may be added for a user via People. This phone number is discarded after it is used for a single enrollment. This option can be found in
- Users
- Business user profile
- Invitation banner
- Set temporary phone number
Banno Business FAQ
- What are the differences in each user role? Can we create a partial admin?
- Business admins can do everything, including edit, as well as delete and create once available. Viewers can see all details about a user, like an auditor, and viewers can also access user management. The user role is a standard user within the business and cannot access user management. This role comparison table can help familiarize business users with the available roles in user management.
There is not currently a partial admin role.
User management offers granular permissions so that business admins can tailor an individual’s access to money movement. Business admins control which entitlements their business users interact with as well as which accounts the users can or cannot access to move funds. Admin 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. A business user can only see an entitlement and use its functionality if that entitlement’s “parent” permission(s) are configured to allow it. These troubleshooting steps help explain how permissions are enabled from the business level down to the business user account level.
Because user management allows permissions to be customized down to an account-by-account basis, there are five permission levels. The different permission levels and where they’re managed include the following:
1. Institution level
Banno manages permissions so that your institution can offer the functionality to your customers.
2. Business level
- Banno Admin
- Your institution views and manages entitlements in the business’s profile in Banno People.
3. Business account level
- Banno Admin
- Your institution views and manages permissions for accounts in the business’s profile in Banno People.
4. Business user level
- Banno Admin
- In Banno People, institution employees manage permissions for entitlements that allow a member of a business to use its functionality.
- Banno Online
- A business admin manages permissions in User management. They can enable and disable permissions to use an entitlement and feature entitlements.
5. Business user account level

Manage external applications & additional services
- Banno People
- Settings
- External applications
For a credit union to manage the visibility of an external application to a business and its business users, the external application must have the User type field set to Business only or Both retail and business.
Once the external application is ready to display to business admins in Banno Online, enable the external application at the institution level in Banno People. This allows the external application to display in the Permissions section of all business profiles across the institution.
When the external application is enabled at the institution level, it is automatically enabled by default at the business level permissions. The external application is also visible, but disabled, to all business admins across the institution.
If an institution hasn’t enabled any external applications for businesses, the message Your [institution] hasn’t enabled any external applications for businesses. displays until there are enabled external applications.
According to an external application’s configuration, the Link title field displays as the external application title (1) and the Description (optional) field describes the external application (2) to business admins in Banno Online and admin users in Banno People.
Business permissions
Banno People
- Users
- Click business
- Permissions
- External applications
Once the external application is enabled at the institution level, the external application is automatically enabled by default at the business level. The external application is also visible, but disabled, to all business admins. Having the external application enabled at the business level gives business admins across the institution the ability to then manage visibility of the external application to business users.
Unlike other permissions, there is not an option for the institution to manage External applications permissions at the business user level without also giving business admins the ability to manage the same permissions.
If an external application is disabled at the business level, the external application:
- Displays as disabled in the business profile in People.
- Does not display to business admins in User management
- Displays as uneditable at the business user level in People. The external application cannot be updated unless it is first enabled at the business level.
Business user permissions
Enabling an external application at the business user level gives them the ability to view the external application in Banno Online.
External application permissions only manage the business user’s ability to see the external application in Banno Online—it does not control access to or login to the external application. If a business user has the link to the external application, such as a bookmark, they can still access the external application while authenticated in Banno Online.
Even if an external application is disabled, the business user may still be able to access the external application directly and perform actions allowed by their application. Permissions for accessing an external application are managed in the external application—not in Banno Online or Banno People..
Banno Online
- User management
- Click business user
- Additional services
In User management, a business admin manages external applications on behalf of business users. They need to manually enable each external application at the individual business user level for any business user to view the external application in Banno Online.
Banno People
- Users
- Click business user
- Permissions
- External applications
In Banno People, admin users can manage external applications for a business user.
Permission states
Depending on the level where an external application is or is not enabled, the external application permission may or may not be editable in the business users’s profile. If an editable permission displays, the external application is enabled at the business and institution levels (1 & 2). If an uneditable permission displays, the external application is disabled at the business level and enabled at the institution level (3).
If an external application does not display in a business user’s permissions, ensure the external application is enabled at the business and institution levels.
View-only permission settings
Select permissions can be enabled so that an business 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 business user to view-only ACH, stop payments, transfers, user management, and wires. View-only is unavailable for card payments. If an business user needs to view the card payments functionality in the Banno app, they will also have the ability to use it.
At the business user level, adjust the following permissions in Banno People or Banno Online so that the business user can only view the functionality:
ACH
- Enable the Enabled permission.
- Enable the View ACH permission.
- Disable all other ACH permissions.
Stop payments
- Enable the Enabled permission.
- Disable all other stop payments permissions.
Transfers
- Enable the Enabled permission.
- Set the transfer limit to zero.
- Disable all other transfers permissions.
User management
- Ensure the business user has the role of Viewer.
- Enable the Enabled permission.
Wires View only is not supported for Wires.
Troubleshoot
For security purposes, permissions can override one another. A business 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 business user needs access to delete wires, an admin user first ensures the following permissions are enabled in the business’s profile in Banno People:
- Wires at the business level
- View wires at the business level
- Delete wires at the business level
- Account access at the business account level
- View wires at the business account level
- Delete wires at the business account level
- The admin user or an business admin continues updating permissions at the different levels.
Permission steps for admin users in Banno People
If the admin user continues managing the permissions, they complete the following steps:
- Wires at the business user level
- View wires at the business user level
- Delete wires at the business user level
- Account access at the business user account level
- View wires at the business user account level
- Delete wires at the business user account level
Permission steps for business admins in Banno Online
If the business admin manages permissions (and not the admin user in Banno People), they complete the following steps:
- In User management, navigate to the business user’s profile.
- They select Set permissions to view the business user permissions.
- In the Wires section, ensure the Enable permission is toggled on.
- In the same section, ensure the Delete wire permission is enabled.
- The business admin navigates back to the business user’s profile.
- They select the account that the business user needs to delete wires.
- In the Account access section, ensure the Enable permission is toggled on.
- In the Wires section, ensure the Delete wires permission is enabled.
If any permissions in this flow aren’t enabled correctly, Wires functionality might not display or work properly for the business or business user.
If the business user has trouble with an entitlement or accessing functionality, an admin user can follow these steps to ensure that permissions in Banno People are turned on at the correct levels:
- Users
- business profile
- Permissions
- Business permissions
- At the business level, check that the entitlement is enabled for the business.
- Ensure that other relevant permissions are enabled.
- Users
- business profile
- Permissions
- Accounts
- At the business account level, check that account access is enabled for the business’s account.
- Ensure that other relevant permissions are enabled.

- At the business user account level, check that account access is enabled for the business user.
- Ensure that other relevant permissions are enabled.
History events
Changes made in user management (updating a permission, modifying an business user profile, etc.) by an admin user or business admin create history events in Banno Admin. History events display in the business user’s Activity and can be sorted using the Permissions filter under User. History events also display in Banno Activity and can be sorted using the Permissions filter under People Users.
