Users and merchants roles

Last updated: 21-Sep-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 organization, as this will determine the access scope of the user. If the user is created in a top-level organization, they will have access to all organizations below. In case the user is boarded into a lower-level organization, the scope will be reduced to that specific organization.

You can view and search for users in your organization 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

Below are are presented the merchant roles and the permissions levels of merchant users in Verifone Central:

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 organization may have more than one Merchant Admin.
Merchant Order Admin – This role is assigned to users who can have permission to create, view and modify orders with Order Service and Boarding UI. It is complimentary to the MERCHANT_ADMIN role, meaning this can be added to a user which also has the MERCHANT ADMIN role.
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 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, Organizations list, and Point of Interaction (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 Cashier – This role has access to the payment tools but cannot issue any refund. It has read access for the Transaction dashboard, Organizations list, and POI list.
Merchant External Partner – This role is assigned to users which are outside of the of merchant's company/ business, but are still trusted to get access to merchant data (such as transaction data, etc.).

A user with multiple roles inherits all the rights and permissions of all assigned roles.
However, the Merchant External Partner role will overwrite the rights and permissions of the other assigned roles.
