The user management functionality allows you to configure the users that can access the WSO2 Open Banking solution and the permissions that determine how each user can work with your system. 

The default user management configuration in a WSO2 product is as follows: 

  • The default H2 database in the WSO2 product is configured as the User Store that stores all the information on users, roles and permissions.
  • An Admin user and Admin password are configured by default.
  • The default Admin role connected to the Admin user has all permissions granted. 

According to the default configuration explained above, you can simply log into the management console of the product with the Admin user and get started right away. 

Users in an open banking environment

Super Admin users can create, and manage users and user roles using the Management Console of the WSO2 Open Banking Identity and Access Management component. The steps given below describe how to create a user and user role. Create users and roles for the bank staff, Payment Service Users(PSUs), and Third Party Providers(TPPs) with the following permissions:

UserRole Permission
Bank Staff
  • Internal/Customer Care Officer
  • Internal/Creator
  • Internal/Publisher
PSUInternal/Subscriber
