About bank account detail visibility
You can control who is allowed to view or edit bank account details on a contact by using access control settings. These permissions help protect sensitive financial information while still allowing authorised team members to perform their work.
Bank account access applies to:
- The contact profile
- Trust accounting screens
Configure bank account access
To configure bank account access:
- Go to: Settings > General > Access
- Click Contacts
- Select Contact Details
- Select Bank Account Details
You will see two permission options:
- View - Allows users to see bank account details on the contact profile and trust accounting screens. Without this permission, bank account details are partially hidden
- Edit - Allows users to add, update, or remove bank account details. Users must also have View access to edit details
- Click the + button to add Roles and Groups
To keep financial data secure:
- Grant Edit access only to users who manage trust or financial transactions
- Limit View access for users who do not need bank account details
- Review access permissions regularly, especially when roles change
What users see when access is restricted
When a user does not have permission to view bank account details:
- Bank account fields still appear on the contact
- The information is masked or half hidden
- This indicates that details exist, but the user is not authorised to view them
