You can edit the user access capabilities to reflect changes in users' responsibilities and ensure the security of your Portal account. Any Portal user with another user boarded under their account can edit access for that user at any time. This tutorial describes how to edit the access role for an existing user.

Objective

Update user roles for access to specific resources in the Portal.

Audience

  • Facilitators

  • Referrers

  • Merchants

Environment

  • Portal (Sandbox)

  • Portal (Production)

Prerequisites

Prerequisites

  • You must have a fully boarded Payrix account to perform any of the actions described in the use case guides.

  • Make sure you have the full name of the user as it is written in the Portal.

Warnings

Warning: User role access levels can only be assigned to new users based on your account level.

For example, a Merchant cannot give “Referrer Full Access” to another user, but a Referrer can grant this level of access to a Merchant.

Warning: The “parent” (admin) user of any child (standard) user can access and view the Child user’s associated entity (Merchant) because it’s hierarchy is the source of the Child user’s access to the portal.

As a result, the Parent User will have full view of the Child User’s Merchant account, but the child user is unable to view the parent user’s view.

Warning: Deactivating Referrer-level Parent users that are associated with the entity’s API key or are the primary parent user login will remove access from all associated Child Users to their respective entity (Merchant).

Warning: Your browser cache may not allow you to see your changes reflected immediately when updating an existing user’s roles. If this happens try clearing your browser cache or reload the page in a private/incognito browser window.

Tips

Tip: In the event that a person acting as the Parent User needs to be changed, use the steps below to repurpose the Parent User with new information and login credentials.

  1. Change the user’s email address to a new and relevant company email address.

  2. Confirm the new email address via verification email sent from the platform.

  3. Login to the Parent User using the new email address and update relevant information: Username, Password, Name etc.

Tip: Referrers have the flexibility to give or restrict their Merchants' access to the Portal.

We offer a large number of integration options that allow your clients to perform essential platform functions directly on your product offering or you have the option to manage these functions on their behalf.

Tip: An Access Template can be used while creating a new user by clicking the ADD A TEMPLATE link in the Create a New User lightbox. Access Templates can set predetermined roles for new users to streamline the process, allowing you to add future users with similar roles using the template.
