Can individuals with update functionality in EBT Edge also key transactions?

Individuals with update functionality in EBT Edge are not permitted to key transactions. This is a crucial aspect of maintaining the integrity and security of the system. By limiting transaction capabilities to only authorized personnel, such as supervisors, the risk of errors or fraudulent activities is significantly reduced.

The design of the system aims to create clear roles and responsibilities. Those who have update access usually engage in maintaining or editing data, not in processing transactions. This segregation of duties is a fundamental principle in operational security, ensuring that critical functions are performed by designated individuals with the appropriate training and authority.

Ultimately, ensuring that only certain users can key transactions helps maintain oversight and accuracy in the processing of EBT transactions, safeguarding both the system integrity and the welfare of the beneficiaries it serves.
