Entitlements and Permissions for Credit Unions

In an effort to make this section of the Knowledge Base easier to navigate, some User Management page content has been re-organized into new sub-pages:

Updating any bookmarks you may have stored for this page content is recommended.

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.

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
    Banno Admin: Your institution views and manages permissions in Banno People.
    Banno Online: A business admin manages permissions in User management.

To manage a business’s permissions in Banno People, an admin user first needs the appropriate Business and business members user permissions enabled.

In Banno People, permissions for business entitlements and accounts display in the business’s profile. Within the profile, a business admin can manage these permissions for how a business views and interacts with entitlements. Depending on your institution configuration and a business’s entitlements, a business’s permissions may vary but can include:

  • ACH
  • Transfers
  • Wires
  • User management
  • Users
  • Click business
  • Permissions
  • Accounts
  • View all

In Banno People, permissions for business accounts display in the business’s Permissions screen. An admin user can manage these permissions for how a business views and interacts with accounts.

The following sections include an overview of the business entitlements and permissions that an admin user manages in Banno People:

Within each section, permissions are separated by permissions at the business level and the business account level. Because some permissions interact with others, tooltips in Banno Admin display alongside certain permissions in, helping guide admin users to correctly enable functionality. If applicable, those dependencies are noted in the permission’s definition.

Enable
Allows the business access to ACH entitlements. It must be enabled if a business user needs to use ACH functionality.
View ACH

The Enable permission displays in a business’s account permissions. It shows what is set on the core and can be managed in Banno People. Access to accounts for the business must be handled by modifying account access on the core. If account access is disabled, the account doesn’t display to business users.

If multiple businesses have access to an account, modifying account access only impacts the business where the change was made.

When a business is created, all of its accounts are disabled by default.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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..

  • 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.

  • Users
  • Click business user
  • Permissions
  • External applications

In Banno People, admin users can manage external applications for a business user.

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.

Select permissions can be enabled so that a 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 a business user to view-only ACH, stop payments, transfers, user management, and wires. View-only is unavailable for card payments. If a 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:

  1. Enable the Enabled permission.
  2. Enable the View ACH permission.
  3. Disable all other ACH permissions.
  1. Enable the Enabled permission.
  2. Disable all other stop payments permissions.
  1. Enable the Enabled permission.
  2. Set the transfer limit to zero.
  3. Disable all other transfers permissions.
  1. Ensure the business user has the role of Viewer.
  2. Enable the Enabled permission.

View-only permissions are not supported for Wires.

To manage a business’s permissions in Banno People, an admin user first needs the appropriate Business and business members user permissions enabled.

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 a 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:

  1. Wires at the business level
  2. View wires at the business level
  3. Delete wires at the business level
  4. Account access at the business account level
  5. View wires at the business account level
  6. Delete wires at the business account level
  7. The admin user or a business admin continues updating permissions at the different levels.

If an admin user continues managing permissions, the following permissions steps must be completed:

  1. Wires at the business user level
  2. View wires at the business user level
  3. Delete wires at the business user level
  4. Account access at the business user account level
  5. View wires at the business user account level
  6. Delete wires at the business user account level

If a business admin manages permissions (and not an admin user in Banno People), the following permissions steps must be completed.

Step Instruction
1 In User management, navigate to the business user’s profile.
2 Click Set permissions to view the business user permissions.
3 In the Wires section, ensure the Enable permission is toggled on.
4 In the same section, ensure the Delete wire permission is enabled.
5 Navigate back to the business user’s profile.
6 Select the account that the business user needs to delete wires.
7 In the Account access section, ensure the Enable permission is toggled on.
8 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
  1. At the business level, check that the entitlement is enabled for the business.
  2. Ensure that other relevant permissions are enabled.
  • Users
  • business profile
  • Permissions
  • Accounts
  1. At the business account level, check that account access is enabled for the business’s account.
  2. Ensure that other relevant permissions are enabled.
  • Users
  • business user profile
  • Permissions
  • Business user permissions
  1. At the business user level, check that the entitlement is enabled for the member of the business.
  2. Ensure that other relevant permissions are enabled.

  1. At the business user account level, check that account access is enabled for the business user.
  2. Ensure that other relevant permissions are enabled.
