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 immutable audit log, 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 per-user permission 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
Immutable, 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 immutable so the record stays trustworthy for compliance teams and regulators, with retention managed through scheduled jobs.
Can it connect to our identity provider?
Yes. Administration integrates with identity providers and directory services as inputs, and account synchronisation can keep users aligned with your source of truth.
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.
How do you keep access reviews up to date?
Scheduled access recertification and account synchronisation jobs keep users, roles, and permissions current, and reviews can be exported for sign-off.
