Roles and Permissions

The “Roles and Permissions" feature is designed to streamline user role and permission management within PaymentWorks. This tool enables self-service, empowering Payer Admin Users to create, modify, and control roles with ease.

Key Features:

  • Roles and Permissions Table: A new, centralized hub for managing user roles. View all roles, their descriptions, and last modified details. Access to this table is restricted to users with the appropriate permissions.

  • Role Creation and Editing: Easily create new roles or edit existing ones. Simply click "Create Role" or "Edit" to define role names, descriptions, and permissions.

  • Role Duplication: Quickly duplicate existing roles using the "Copy" feature to save time when creating similar roles.

  • Remove Role: Safely remove roles with a confirmation process to avoid accidental deletions. The system will alert you if the role is still in use.

  • Search and Export: Find specific roles with the new search bar and export role details to a CSV file for easier reporting and analysis.

Access Control Enhancements:

  • System Administrator Role: Automatically assigned to payer admin users, this role receives new permissioned features by default, allowing you to manage and test new capabilities before rolling them out to your team.

  • PW Reviewer Role: This role, vital for PaymentWorks fraud operations, is now hidden from non-staff users to prevent unauthorized changes.

Default Roles in PaymentWorks:

  • System Administrator: Manages new features and tests updates.

  • Admin: Manages users, roles, and approvals.

  • Initiator: Sends and tracks vendor invitations.

  • Payments Approver: Approves payment submissions.

  • Procurement: Oversees vendor updates.

  • Reporting User: Accesses and runs reports.

  • Vendor Approver: Manages the onboarding process.
