Administrator Role Overview
As an administrator, you have access to two primary functions within the Administration menu:
- Administration: View your company's subscribed accounts, services, and payment types; create and manage other users; manage FTP delivery and pickup options.
- Operations > Audit Service: View history logs of all activity by OldNational users in your company.
Administration Menu
From the Administration menu, you can perform various functions:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Accounts (dropdown) | View all enrolled accounts for your company |
| Services (dropdown) | View all subscribed services |
| Users | Create, edit, deactivate user accounts |
| Permissions | Assign feature and account access per user |
| FTP Settings | Configure file delivery and pickup options |
| Payment Types | Manage enrolled payment types (ACH, wire, etc.) |
Creating New Users
To add a new user to your company's OldNational account:
- Log in as an administrator.
- Navigate to Administration > Users.
- Click Add New User or equivalent option.
- Enter the user's personal information: name, email, phone number.
- Create a User ID for the new user.
- Set a temporary password (user will be required to change on first login).
- Assign accounts the user should have access to.
- Assign services and features (ACH, wire, reporting, etc.).
- Set approval limits if applicable.
- Configure MFA method for the user.
- Save and notify the user of their credentials and setup instructions.
Permission Management
Permissions in OldNational are highly customizable and can be configured at multiple levels:
Account-Level Permissions
- View account balances and history
- Initiate transactions on specific accounts
- Approve transactions up to specified limits
Feature-Level Permissions
- ACH origination (create, approve, or both)
- Wire transfers (create, approve, or both)
- Account transfers
- Positive Pay decision-making
- Report generation and export
- User management (admin only)
Approval Limits
Set dollar thresholds for payment approvals per user. Users can only approve transactions up to their configured limit. Transactions exceeding a user's limit require a higher-authorized approver.
Accounts & Services Management
Administrators can view and manage the company's enrolled accounts and services:
- View enrolled accounts: See all checking, savings, and loan accounts linked to the platform.
- View subscribed services: See which treasury management services are active (ACH, wire, positive pay, etc.).
- Allocate accounts to services: Assign specific accounts to specific services.
- Add new accounts or services: Requires coordination with Treasury Management support — administrators cannot self-enroll in new services.
Audit Trail & Activity Logs
The Audit Service provides a comprehensive log of all user activity:
- Login attempts (successful and failed)
- Payment creations and approvals
- Account transfers
- Report generation and downloads
- User permission changes
- Payee additions or modifications
- Positive Pay decisions
- Profile and setting changes
Audit logs can be filtered by user, date range, and activity type. They are essential for compliance, fraud investigation, and operational review.
FTP Delivery & Pickup
For businesses with high-volume file processing, OldNational supports FTP/SFTP delivery and pickup:
- Delivery: Automatically send reports, statements, and transaction files to your FTP server.
- Pickup: Upload payment files (NACHA format) from your FTP server for processing.
- Scheduling: Configure delivery and pickup times to align with your accounting workflows.
- Security: SFTP is recommended over standard FTP for all file transfers.
Admin Best Practices
- Regular Access Reviews: Review user permissions quarterly to ensure they remain appropriate.
- Timely Deactivation: Deactivate user accounts immediately when employees leave the company.
- Dual Control: Enable dual-control for all ACH and wire payments.
- Separation of Duties: The person who creates payments should not be the same person who approves them.
- Monitor Audit Logs: Review audit logs regularly for unusual activity.
- Limit Admin Access: Only grant admin privileges to users who truly need them.
- Secure MFA: Ensure all users have MFA configured with current contact information.
- Password Policies: Enforce strong password policies and regular password changes.
