The Relationship Authorisation ManagerExternal Link (RAM) enables authorised people to transact with government online services on behalf of your fund. This includes access to Online services for business and Access Manager. As the holder of an ABN, APRA regulated funds must keep authorisations and permissions up to date by regularly completing these 3 checks.
Create, edit and remove authorisations
The principal authority or authorisation administrator should:
- create authorisationsExternal Link in RAM for people who need access. Maintaining accurate records ensures employees and others can easily identify who can approve access
- edit authorisationsExternal Link in RAM to maintain access for your employees – for example, by adjusting end-dates or modifying agency permissions
- remove authorisationsExternal Link when access is no longer required – for example, if someone changes roles or leaves the organisation – to prevent unauthorised access.
Review and customise permissions
After creating an authorisation for someone in RAM, you can customise permissions in Access Manager once the authorisation has been accepted. If the authorisation is still pending, the details won’t be available in Access Manager.
If someone increases their myID identity strength from Basic to Standard, the authorisation needs to be removed first. Then, the principal authority or authorisation administrator needs to create a new authorisation. Once accepted, this will remove restricted access to our online services.
If your fund uses Standard Business Reporting (SBR) enabled software to interact with our online services, you may need to create a machine credentialExternal Link using RAM. By default, machine credentials have full permissions, but these can be customised in Access Manager by a principal authority or Machine Credential Administrator (MCA) once the credential has been used for the first time.
Monitor activity
Regularly check authorisation and machine credential activities for the fund using the History functionExternal Link in RAM. Make any necessary updates to ensure the right people have the right access.
