  • In the administration area, go to the “User administration” overview.

    • To add a new user, including authorizations, click on “Create user”. When entering authorizations, you can use the options “Individual authorization”, “Copy existing user” and “Authorize all”.
    • To delete an existing user, click on the button with three dots.

    • Copy existing user: copy an existing user in order to assign another person the same rights. Individual products can be excluded when assigning rights, if necessary.
    • Authorize all: define an authorization profile for each contract type. This applies to all contracts in the customer relationship. If authorization profiles have been selected that are not permitted for a specific contract or service, the next possible authorization profile will be assigned. 
  • Changes that have not yet been processed by the system or approved as part of a dual-checking process.

  • Under “Reports and deliveries”, you can order the customer documents “Authorizations report” and “Deliveries report” independently and free of charge.

  • The report contains an overview of authorizations and privileges for each individual user entered for the business customer relationship.

  • The report contains an overview of active deliveries for the customer relationship (e.g. account statements, interest statements, payment confirmations or camt detailed notifications).

  • Once the order has been completed, you can find your reports as a PDF file under the “Documents” heading in e-finance.

  • It usually takes a few minutes to process your order. 

  • You need e-finance and a physical signing right or the Admin electronic right for user (see “Access to administration area”).

  • Go to the administration area and select Reports and notifications > Overview of deliveries > Edit
