Getting started with Administration Rules

Tenet offers an advanced approval system to manage critical changes to client account settings, ensuring enhanced security and meticulous control over account modifications. This feature allows clients to establish custom approval workflows tailored to their specific requirements, involving multiple approvers and detailed criteria for different types of account changes. These of rules are separated from Transaction Rules to give clients the ability to define separate signatories to change critical settings from transaction authorised signatories.

What events trigger an approval from Administration Rule?

The following events require an approval from the Administration Rules:

  • Any changes to user permissions in User Management
  • Any changes to approval groups or rules in Transaction Rules
  • Any changes to approval groups or rules in these Administration Rules
  • Any changes to Client Profile
  • Adding a new bank account from Account Summary

Manage your administration Approval Groups.

Administration Approval Groups are a group of users. Any number of administration Approval Groups can be created. A user may be part of one or more administration Approval Groups.

Who is eligible to be members of administration Approval Groups?

In order to be eligible to be a member of a transaction Approval Group, the user must have Administrator permissions set to Yes. Learn more about User permissions in TenetOS.

Change your Administration Rules with Approval Groups and approval thresholds.

Once you have your Approval Groups, you can then modify your Administration Rules. You will:

  • select the Approval Group
  • set the threshold number that is required from that Approval Group

The threshold number must be less than or equal to the number of members in that Approval Group.

You may combine Approval Groups using logical operators [AND] and [OR]. This allows you to create dynamic and custom Administration Rules for your account settings.

How are the initial Administration Rules set?

The initial Administration Rules are set during the account application process. The members of the initial Approval Group consist of 2 or more of the directors or equivalent. If there is only 1 director, then they are the only member.

The initial threshold number is set during the account application process as well. The threshold number must be 2 or higher. If there is only 1 member of the initial Approval Group, then the threshold is set to 1.
