## <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Key Use Cases</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Below we present a list of key use cases enabled on Business Control platform. We are constantly working on new functionalities that are adding value to the product:</span>

- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">issue virtual card for employee,</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">setup card limits (time, date, transaction limits etc.),</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">manage groups in companies (departments or teams),</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">scan invoices,</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">present reports for accounting purposes,</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">and many more.</span>

## <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Security </span>  


<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">The systems offered by Verestro are fully secure, which is confirmed by current third-party certificates. As we store card and payment data we are obliged to comply with strict legal requirements. Card data are stored in a specially designed environment - Data Core. This environment is PCI DSS certified. The PCI-DSS standard guarantees the security of payment card data. It ensures that sensitive information is properly guarded and provides maximum security in the payment process.</span>  
<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">We achieve high security standards by, among other things :</span>  
<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">1. Building and maintaining network security - the need to build and maintain a firewall configuration that protects cardholder data, not using manufacturers' default passwords and settings.</span>  
<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">2. Protecting cardholder data - protecting stored cardholder data, encrypting data transmissions when using public networks.</span>  
<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">3. Maintaining a payment management program - using regularly updated anti-virus systems, developing secure systems and applications.</span>  
<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">4. Implementing strong access control methods - limiting access to cardholder data to only those with a business need, assigning each user a unique ID, limiting physical access to cardholder data.</span>  
<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">5. Regular network monitoring and testing - testing security systems and processes, controlling access to network resources and cardholder data.</span>  
<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">6. Maintaining information security policies - relying on security policies for employees and vendors.</span>

### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Mobile apps configuration</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Completion of product configuration (T&amp;C regulations, imported cards, created limits and user structures) is required to test mobile applications.</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">For beta environment testing, it is necessary to provide the project manager with information about the type of device and the data for which test cards are to be assigned. This is related to separate app delivery solutions for each platform.</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">In the case of a production environment, the application is provided by authorized and official application stores dedicated to that environment.</span>

#### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Beta environment</span>  


<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">In the initial stages of the project, the mobile application can be delivered as an APK file to be installed manually on the device. It is also possible to set up an automatic distribution center for test versions, in which case it is enough to provide Verestro with a list of email addresses to which invitations to the test system will be sent. Each user will receive an individual registration link and AppTester software (a fully secure component of the Google Firebase system) or TestFlight software (Apple's standard way to distribute test applications that meet the latest functional and security requirements). Both of the distribution ways allow to download each version of the application and deliver new versions in real time to testers.</span>

#### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Production environment</span>  


<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Once the testing phase is complete, Verestro generates applications that must be signed with the appropriate set of keys and then, using procedures appropriate to the specific distribution site (Apple AppStore or Google Play), added to the app stores. Once the application is in the store, any user can easily and quickly install the application and update it automatically.</span>

## <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Roles in the System</span>

### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Issuer Administrator</span>  


<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Created in the new Issuer setup process after legal and contractual issues are completed. Associated with the flow of configuring corporations related to the Issuer. Could see the corporations associated in the system and their cards along with limits.</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">As may be seen from the table above, the main differences between admin and manager concern adding new operators to the corporation. In contrast, the context of a user is usually narrowed down to its own group or actions directly related to particular user-level operator.</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">The manager and user roles are fully configurable. It can contain decreasing privileges in comparison to Admin or completely different functionalities.</span>

#### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Corporate Administrator</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">This is a role that guarantees full authority in the corporate context. It has access to manage the hierarchy of groups and portal operators. Corporate Administrator has a privilege to assign cards and has access to all the details of the corporation.</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">[![image-1676031241480.drawio.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/image-1676031241480-drawio.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/image-1676031241480-drawio.png)</span>

#### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Corporate Manager</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">The role of manager in a corporation almost exactly matches with the administrator's capabilities. The difference is the inability to add new portal users.</span>

#### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Corporate User</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">The basic role in the corporation, should be assigned to a lower level user. Capabilities are limited to viewing other operators at the same permission level in their group and groups below, assigning cards, and displaying cards. That means Corporate User cannot view groups higher in the hierarchy or other users than Corporate Users in the details of group.</span>

### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Mobile user - Enduser</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Flow of creating the mobile user account doesn’t depends on portal. End-user could install application and register without any invitation. Until the card is received from the system, it can use the mobile application capabilities. Only the assignment of the card binds him strongly to the system. Importantly, the code necessary to assign the card is sent to the phone number and e-mail address given by the portal operator on the assignment form, but the end user can redeem the code on any account (so on an account registered with different data than the one provided in the form). In such case it is required to provide the OTP code sent to the number from the form. As a result, the user can use one account for both private and corporate cards (but the authentication sent to the corporate data is required).</span>

## <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Business Logic and Groups</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">This section contains all necessary information about key business processes in the system.</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">8.1 Groups</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">The group hierarchy always has a tree structure with one top group named Root Group. Other groups are below in the hierarchy and there can be unlimited of them on each level. There is no limit of levels or branches.</span>

### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Group limits</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">To understand group limits, it is important to remember that these limits are related only to the card assignment process itself. They have no direct relationship to the corporation's limits. They are used to limit the ability to assign cards within the organization structure.</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Sample group structure:</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">![](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-06/embedded-image-la26axxb.png)</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Assumptions</span>

- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Approval Limit - This limit determines the maximum amount with which anyone in the group can assign a card to a user.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Spend Limit - This limit determines the maximum amount on a card that can be accepted in a given group if an assignment confirmation request comes in from a group with a lower limit.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Cumulative limit cannot exceed Spend limit of group from which the card is assigned. If Cumulative limit during assigning to the card exceeds Spend limit then card request will send to right parent group to approve.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">PO group has Approval limit 500 and Spend limit 500.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">PO Junior group has Approval limit 200 and Spend limit 200 also.</span>

### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Approval state machine </span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">The diagram below shows Approval's state machine - that is, the states it can reach and the sequence of changing states.</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">[![image-1663760509900.png](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/scaled-1680-/image-1663760509900.png)](https://developer.verestro.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-09/image-1663760509900.png)</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Actions available on approvals:</span>

- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Created: Accept, Reject, Edit, Cancel.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Accepted: Cancel.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Preprared: Cancel.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Delivered: Lock, Unassign, Edit.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Locked: Unlock.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Rejected: —</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Expired: — </span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Finished: — </span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">**Rules:**</span>

- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">**Accept** and **Reject** are available only when the request to change the limits comes from a mobile user from the same group OR when the approval creator has added an approval with an amount exceeding the group's limit.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">**Cancel** is available to approval creator and operators from creator group. The group above does not see Cancel.</span>
- <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">**Edit** is available to operators from creator group and operators from groups higher in the hierarchy.</span>

### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Assignment lifetime flow</span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">The way approvals are organized in flow is one line of transition from the first to the last correctly created (created) or delivered to the end user (delivered). This line can be followed by "next" and "previous". There can be branches from the main line - canceled, rejected, expired, but it is not possible to get to them via "next". There's no possibility to make a reapproval from status finished.</span>

### <span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Card status </span>

<span style="color: #1c1e3f;">A card as an entity used to create a specific assignment can have different status in the system, depending on the state it is in.</span>

</td></tr><tr><td width="141"><span style="color: #1c1e3f;">Locked</span>

</td><td width="567"><span style="color: #1c1e3f;">This status indicates that the card has been manually blocked by the portal operator. There is no automated process in the system that results in the status changing to locked.</span>
