User Permission Configuration

User permissions define the offers, order types, and file formats, an EBICS Client user can process on EBICS Client.

One of the following permission types can be assigned to a user:
Signer
A signer can only sign an order, but cannot submit it.
Submitter
A submitter can submit an order after the designated signer or signers sign the order.
The following table provides information about the authorization levels that can be specified for an EBICS Client user.
Table 1. Authorization levels
Authorization level Permission type Description
E Signer Single signature. It is the strongest authorization level.
A Signer Primary signature
B Signer Secondary signature
T Submitter Transport signature. Transport signatures are not used for authorization of bank-technical orders, but for authorized submission to the bank system.
If the electronic signature value is set to 1, then a single signature of E or A authorization level is required to process an order. If the ES value is set to 2, then a combination of E or A and B is required to process the order. ES value is set to 0 in case of key management orders.
Note: EBICS specification does not permit a combination of two secondary ES authorization levels (that is authorization level B) for processing an order.
