Default example

The following wireframes show a basic example of the authorisation process. Variations can be found in the below sections.

See key requirements and guidelines
See prototype

Unavailable accounts

An account may be considered unavailable for various reasons. Unavailable accounts may include eligible accounts that cannot be shared, such as where

  • a data holder deems it necessary to prevent financial harm or abuse, or
  • account users do not have sharing rights.

Unavailable accounts may also include ineligible accounts which data holders may show to mitigate confusion, such as where a consumer expects to see their accounts but cannot select them because they are ineligible for CDR.

The following wireframes show examples of the account selection step when a consumer has accounts unavailable for data sharing.

All accounts can be shown

See wireframes, key requirements and guidelines

Unavailable accounts cannot be shown

See wireframes, key requirements and guidelines

No accounts can be shown

See wireframes, key requirements and guidelines

Data related to one or no accounts

The following wireframes show an example of authorisation when the consumer only has one account and an example of when data does not relate to any accounts (e.g. saved payees).

See wireframes, key requirements and guidelines

Selection functionality

The following wireframes show an example of authorisation with:

  • a profile selection step; and
  • additional functionality to support account discovery and selection where further navigation or interaction is required to view all accounts.
See wireframes, key requirements and guidelines

Duration

The following wireframes show examples where authorisation is being sought for disclosure on a single occasion and for ongoing collection.

See wireframes, key requirements and guidelines

Layout variation

The CX Guidelines demonstrate extensive requirements for completeness. CX research suggests that breaking content into several steps facilitates comprehension and usability.

The following wireframes suggest alternative patterns for the authorisation.

See wireframes, key requirements and guidelines

Cancellation

The following wireframes show an example of cancelling authorisation.
