Nordpay viewer vs payment approver
Nordpay has two roles: Viewer and Payment approver. Assign the one that matches what the user actually needs to do.
What each role can do
| Viewer | Payment approver | |
|---|---|---|
| See the Nordpay overview | Yes | Yes |
| See payment status and history | Yes | Yes |
| See outstanding and scheduled amounts | Yes | Yes |
| Approve payments | No | Yes |
| Edit payment details (amount, date, message) | No | Yes |
| Mark payments as paid manually | No | Yes |
| Merge or split payments | No | Yes |
| Initiate bank actions | No | Yes (requires MitID / BankID) |
Removing Nordpay access entirely
If a user should not see the Nordpay tab at all, set their Nordpay role to no access. The tab becomes invisible to them.
Typical role pattern
A common setup for companies using Nordpay:
- Consultant or external accountant — Viewer. Needs visibility to advise and audit, but does not initiate payments.
- Company bookkeeper — Viewer or Payment approver depending on whether they have signing authority.
- Authorised signer (CFO, CEO, etc.) — Payment approver. Approves the actual payments and authenticates with the bank.
