Jurisdiction maintenance - Authorisation
Overview
This is a rule that can be set by you, the service administrator, as a default for the authorised user based on the transaction amount required for authorising and releasing a transaction file. Each authorised user is granted roles and depending on the authorisation amount set-up for these roles, they are granted a maximum transaction amount that can be released and thus successfully submitted to Lloyds Bank.
Jurisdiction defines the maximum amount of money that your users are authorised to submit a transaction for. You can assign combination of roles and permissions to your users, which allows them to perform transactions on permitted products and for a set amount. If a user does not have sufficient privileges for submitting a transaction, another user with the necessary privileges can submit the transaction.
When you select the Authorisation option, a list of all the existing authorisation set-ups recorded in the system is returned.
This list can be searched or sorted as appropriate.
