Users and merchant roles

Last updated: 03-Mar-2023

Users

Each user is created with a certain role(s) which will provide a specific set of permissions. Users will always be created in an organisation, as this will determine the access scope of the user. If the user is created in a top-level organisation, they will have access to all organisations below. In case the user is boarded into a lower-level organisation, the scope will be reduced to that specific organisation.

Note: You can view and search for users in your organisation by name or email address on the Administration -> Users tab, depending on your access level. Merchant admins can also add new users on the Administration -> Users tab.

Roles and permissions

Here are the merchant roles and the permissions level of merchant's users:

  • Merchant Admin – This is an administrative role which can onboard new users & updates blocking rulesets. It is the Verifone Cloud Services account contact person providing Portal access to your employees. An organisation may have more than one Merchant Admin.  
  • Merchant Supervisor – This role is assigned to the owner of the organisation. This user is able to use all payment tools and perform all payment actions. It has read access for the Transaction dashboard, Organisations list, and Point of Interaction (POI) list.
  • Merchant Cashier – This role has access to the payment tools but cannot issue any refund. It has read access for the Transaction dashboard, Organisations list, and POI list.
  • Merchant User – This role and is granted viewing access but restricts the user from performing actions. It is ideal for call center support staff. It has read access for the Transaction dashboard, Organisations list, and POI list.
  • Merchant Reviewer – This role is an external viewing role. It will grant viewing access for all dashboards on the Portal but restricts the user from performing actions.
  • Merchant Order Admin – This role is assigned to users who can have permission to create, view and modify orders with Order Service and MOP UI. It is complimentary to the MERCHANT_ADMIN role, meaning this can be added to a user which also has the MERCHANT ADMIN role.
