NAB Connect User Management: Roles, Permissions & Access

Multi-user banking is useful only when each user receives the right level of authority. Shared credentials may feel convenient, but separate user identities provide clearer accountability and make access easier to revoke when staff responsibilities change.

NabConn never asks for NAB Connect credentials

Use an official NAB-operated service for account authentication. Do not send NabConn your NAB Connect User ID, password, PIN, token code, one-time passcode, full card details or online-banking credentials.

Analysis

Separate Identities Improve Accountability

Each authorised employee should use their own approved access rather than sharing another employee’s credentials. This creates a clearer audit trail and makes offboarding practical.

Analysis

Match Permissions to the Job

View-only access, payment creation, payment approval and administration are different responsibilities. The safest design avoids giving every user every power.

Analysis

Use Authorisation Rules Deliberately

Where transactions require multiple approvals, the approvers should be genuinely independent rather than one person controlling multiple credentials.

Analysis

Offboarding Is a Security Control

Access should be reviewed promptly when an employee leaves, changes role or no longer needs a particular function.
