Administration.
User management, configuration, audit logs, and system settings
Overview
The Administration module is the control surface for the AmlShield platform — covering user management, configuration, audit logs, and system settings in one place.
Provision users and assign them roles, then grant or revoke permissions so each team member sees only what their job requires. Role-based access keeps onboarding, monitoring, and reporting separated by responsibility.
Every administrative action — a sign-in, a role change, a configuration update — is written to an append-only audit log with no edit or delete function in the application, giving compliance teams and regulators a complete record of who changed what and when.
Key Features
Everything an administrator needs to run the platform — users, roles, configuration, and audit.
User Management
Provision, edit, and deactivate user accounts, then keep each one current as people join, move teams, or leave.
Roles & Permissions
Role-based access control with 90 granular permissions and per-user grants, so each person sees only what their responsibilities require.
Organisation Structure
Model branches, departments, and teams so users, scopes, and approvals line up with how the institution actually operates.
System Settings
Central configuration for platform behaviour, defaults, and module settings — applied consistently across the system.
Audit Logs
Append-only, time-stamped records of every administrative action, giving a complete who-changed-what trail for regulators.
Diagnostics & Health
System status and diagnostics surface configuration issues and operational health before they affect compliance work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does role-based access work?
Users are assigned roles, and roles carry sets of permissions. You can also grant or revoke individual permissions per user, so access always matches the responsibilities of the job.
What is captured in the audit log?
Administrative actions such as sign-ins, role changes, permission grants, and configuration updates are recorded with a user, a timestamp, and the change made, forming a complete who-changed-what trail.
Can the audit log be edited or deleted?
No. The audit log is append-only — the application has no function to edit or delete entries — so the record stays trustworthy for compliance teams and regulators.
How granular are the permissions?
The platform ships with 90 granular permissions across all modules. Roles bundle them, and administrators can grant or revoke individual permissions per user.
What system settings can administrators control?
Administrators manage platform configuration, module defaults, and system settings from one place, so behaviour stays consistent across the whole platform.
Can we see who holds a given permission?
Yes. Administrators can review each user's roles and per-user grants in-app, and every permission change is captured in the append-only audit log.
