Overview

In accordance with CDR Rule 4.22A(1), if a data holder has received a notice under rule 4.18C or 4.20S, the data holder must invite the CDR consumer to amend the authorisation to disclose CDR data accordingly.

The amending authorisation standards apply when a data holder invites a CDR consumer to amend a current authorisation as per rule 4.22A and the accredited data recipient has supplied a cdr_arrangement_id.

The guidelines in this section provide examples of how to implement these amending authorisation requirements.

Unavailable accounts

The following wireframes show an example for unavailable accounts. An account may be considered unavailable for various reasons. Unavailable accounts may include eligible accounts that can’t be shared — for example, to prevent financial harm or because the account user doesn’t have sharing rights.

Unavailable accounts may also include ineligible accounts, or accounts that are not captured under the required consumer data rules. Data holders may show these accounts as unavailable to reduce confusion, such as where a consumer expects to see certain accounts, but cannot select them as they’re not eligible to be shared. While certain account or product types are excluded from the required consumer data rules, data holders may choose to share these accounts voluntarily.
