Nine roles, each with a defined permission set tailored to AUSTRAC's expectations for the function:

  • Role: Compliance Officer (CO)
    Typical user: The accountable AML/CTF officer
    Key permissions: Full platform access; signs off Risk Assessment, AML Program, SMRs and TTRs; manages users; only role that can lodge AUSTRAC reports
  • Role: 2IC (Deputy CO)
    Typical user: Backup for the primary CO
    Key permissions: Same as CO except cannot add/remove the primary CO

Detailed permission breakdowns and the rationale for each role's scope are in the user-access-and-roles knowledge-base article. Each user has one primary AML role that determines training requirements; secondary job titles can be added separately for descriptive purposes (see "What's the right AML role for real estate sales agents?" below).
