Summary

Summary used for better identification of entitlement in Administration web interface.

GUID

Unique entitlement identifier.

Type

There are four possible values:

• No access – Users are not allowed to use Dispatcher Paragon Payment System. This means, that for example login into YSoft Embedded Terminal will be denied. This option is usually used as an equivalent of disabled or removed user.
  

• Page quota – Subjects assigned to this entitlement will use quota limits in order to use a different combination of services. For the list of available combinations, see chapter Quotas.
  

• Prepaid account – Subjects assigned to this entitlement will use money in order to pay for services. This option allows the use of initial and minimum balance and assignment of period recharges.

• Unlimited access – Users assigned to this entitlement are allowed to print and copy without any limit. Jobs are without any charge. A subject is not created.

Shared entitlement

This attribute distinguishes between two basic modes:

• Disabled – Each subject from entitlement has its own account (with information about balance or remaining quota). This is the default behavior when you have one Dispatcher Paragon Payment System subject for each Dispatcher Paragon user.

• Enabled – This will create a shared subject. All Dispatcher Paragon users matched by entitlement criteria will share their balance or remaining quota. This means that a decrease of balance or remaining quota by one user will affect the whole group. This option is usually used in situations when you want to have for example shared balance for each cost center.

Cost center number

Cost center number or list of numbers used as entitlement matching criteria.

Usernames

Dispatcher Paragon username or list of usernames used as entitlement matching criteria.

Assigned to

Table of entitlement matching criteria. There are two possible type values, Cost center, and User.

Initial balance

This attribute is specific to Prepaid account entitlement. It will grant an initial virtual balance to all newly created subjects matched by this entitlement. Existing subjects are not affected by this option. For more information about virtual balance, see chapter Subject Attributes.

Minimum balance

This attribute is specific to the Prepaid account entitlement type. It will set a minimum balance to all existing or new subjects matched by this entitlement. For more information about minimum balance, see chapter Subject Attributes.

Periodic recharges

This attribute is specific to the Prepaid account entitlement type. It defines a list of periodic recharges, which will be assigned to all existing or new subjects matched by this entitlement. For more information about periodic recharges, see chapter Periodic Recharges.

Quotas

This attribute is specific to the Page quota entitlement type. It defines a list of quotas, which will be assigned to all existing or new subjects matched by this entitlement. For more information about periodic recharges, see chapter Quotas.

Create entitlement

Opens a form for the creation of new entitlement. Saving of entitlement will create or update all subjects matched by entitlement criteria.

Edit

Opens a form for editing of entitlement.

Remove

Removes selected entitlement. All already assigned subjects or those matched by entitlement criteria will be assigned to a default entitlement. It is not possible to remove the default entitlement.

Refresh

The button is displayed only for non-default entitlements with disabled sharing. It checks Dispatcher Paragon users in cost centers used in matching criteria of this entitlement and it assigns or reassigns found subjects from this entitlement. From the functional point of view, it is not necessary to use this button as the subjects are going to be reassigned to a correct entitlement as soon as they interact with the system (e.g. when they authenticate on the MFD or make a print). The benefit of using this button is to see the Dispatcher Paragon users in the Dispatcher Paragon Payment System Administration interface or to ensure that the Periodic Recharges will happen for all users assigned to the entitlement.

Name

Name is automatically assigned during subject creation. In the case of a Personal subject, the name is usually represented as follows "Name Surname (username)", where all values originate from the Dispatcher Paragon user. In the case of a Shared subject, the name corresponds to the cost center number.

Active Entitlement

Type and name of the assigned entitlement.

Possible values are prepaid account , page quota, no access, and unlimited access. Their values correspond to the assigned entitlement. For more details, see entitlement types in chapter Entitlement Attributes.

Status

Status is indicated by the color of a user's account. If the account's background is green, then the account is active based on assigned entitlement. If it is grey, then the account is disabled. If it is orange, then the account is active based on assigned entitlement, however, the account is disabled (this should not be a common case).

Possible values are:

• Enabled - Most of the subjects are in this status. Each new subject uses this status.

• Disabled - Used only for Payment subjects (customers) migrated from a former version of Dispatcher Paragon Payment System.
  
  

Personal Balance

The personal balance represents the subject's real money deposited by cash desk, payment gateway, or redeemed by a voucher. Each customer can have only one personal balance.

Virtual Balance

The virtual balance represents the customer's bonus or free credit. It can be provided by periodic recharge, manual increase, or by setting an initial account balance. Each customer can have many virtual balances, each assigned to a different API user merchant role, but in most cases, there is only one named safeq. Virtual balance is accessible only through the Merchant who granted it (i.e. virtual credit granted by one API account is not visible for another API account). In the case of transaction settlement, drawing of virtual balance take always precedence before personal balance. For more information about transaction settlement, see Working with Payment System.

Minimum Balance

The minimum balance represents a value below, which the personal balance cannot be decreased. Its value can be positive, zero, or even negative.

Periodic recharges

List of assigned periodic recharges.

Debts

Debts represent the total overdrawn value of personal balance. Similar to virtual balance, each debt is assigned to a different API user. For more information about debt configuration, see Working with Payment System (section Overdrawn transactions) and configuration of Dispatcher Paragon Payment System.

Reservations

Reservations represent blocked personal and/or virtual balance. For more information about reservations, see Working with Payment System section Reservations.

Transactions

Transactions represent the history of balance changes. For more information about transaction types, see chapter Report Attributes.

Open deposits

Open deposits represent unfinished payment gateway deposits. For more information see Using Dispatcher Paragon end user interface section Electronic Payment.

Quotas
