This Guide is designed to help you get off to a successful start as a Bank OnLine Administrator. Online help, including frequently asked questions, is also accessible from the Administrator screens. USER MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW Every User has an individual set of user rights including: Rights to create payments of specific transaction types Limits on the transactions the User can approve Rights to access specific accounts Rights to features in Bank OnLine and the Mobile Banking apps These rights control what each User can do. As a Bank OnLine Administrator, you establish these rights to give Users the permissions they need to perform their jobs - but only those permissions. The User Management page lists all of the account Users. You can view Users as cards in a grid or as a list. 3

4 If a User has been locked out of their account for some reason (such as exceeding the number of permitted invalid password attempts), their card will appear with a red bar at the top. A User who is locked out should contact American Bank Customer Service for assistance in unlocking their access. A Bank OnLine Administrator is not able to unlock a locked out User. A green bar at the top of a card indicates that the account is not locked and the User has access.
