Access packages

Which access packages should I grant?

Powers of attorney that were previously part of a role are now distributed across multiple access packages. An access package provides more precise powers of attorney than roles did.

Use the power of attorney overview under Access Management to search for access packages. Consider which services different individuals and organisations need access to, and find out which of the new access packages these services belong to.

Who can manage powers of attorney and access?

Who can manage powers of attorney and access?
