Overview
Permissions and Notifications are entirely up to the purpose of the username. User Permissions and Notifications are quite customizable/extensive. As a general rule, the Primary User will have Administrative Permissions by default which CANNOT be removed.
The Permissions section contains specific permissions relating to processing sources, transaction types, value added services (iSpyFraud and Customer Vault), and Processors.
Virtual Terminal, API Access, iProcess Mobile Payments Access, QuickBooks SyncPay Access, SwIPe Access, and Batch Access will allow a Merchant to restrict the user via the payment method and transaction type.
- Example: You can enforce that a user only have API access to process Credit Card sales and refunds.
Other options will be an “all or nothing” permission to access that particular service.
- Example: Access the Customer Vault will give a user full access to add, update, delete and use Customer Vault IDs. These types of settings CANNOT restrict “parts” or provide a read-only type access.
The Notifications section contains specific permissions relating to email notifications for various reasons including individual transactions, settlement reports, batch upload reports, Admin notifications and Accounting notifications among others.
The Permissions and Notifications are located in the User Account setting. The instructions on how to access User Account are listed below:
Log in to the merchant’s gateway account >> Click on ‘Options’ >> Click on ‘Settings’ >> Under ‘General Options’ click on ‘User Accounts’ >> Click on the username that you would like to edit their permissions and notification.
