Guide: how to create authorisation control flows with TU Latch
Share
Control who can perform which actions within an online service is critical to system security. To do this, Latch allows companies to define their authorisation flows, ensuring that only authorised persons can approve critical operations, such as bank transfers or changes to a system’s configuration.
Latch, our authorisation control platform that strengthens the security of digital services allows companies to create authorisation control architectures to protect specific functions. Users can temporarily block critical access and operations, adding an extra layer of security against unauthorised actions.
These controls help to prevent errors, fraud or improper access, providing a more secure and efficient management. Using a flexible system that adapts to each business, Latch allows companies to protect their most sensitive operations without complicating the user experience. Here we explain how to set it up.
How to create an authorisation flow in TU Latch step by step
In order to take advantage of Latch authorisation flows, you need to integrate it properly into the online service. To do so, just follow the steps below:
- Register and log in to the Developer Portal.
- Register your online service in the Latch Support Tool.
- Define the operations you want to protect (transfers, data changes, etc.).
- Users must pair the service with the Latch app, ensuring additional control over their access and operations.
- From the Latch Support Tool, the service operator can manage customer requests and set up authorisation flows.
How to customise the authorisation flow in TU Latch
Once the service is configured, customised authorisation flows can be set up from the Latch Support Tool:
- Assign a name to the flow for easy identification.
- Select the operation or function to be protected.
- Define who is responsible for authorisation, indicating who must approve the operation.
- Configure the type of authorisation, deciding whether the approval of one person is sufficient or whether the approval of several users is required.
These flows provide detailed control over sensitive operations, preventing unauthorised actions or changes.
Case studies on how to integrate an authorisation flow in TU Latch
The implementation of authorisation flows with Latch is useful in multiple sectors where security and authorisation control are essential. From banking platforms to cloud services, any business handling sensitive information can benefit from this system.
In the video we show a practical example with WireBank, a fictitious online bank that uses Latch to protect key functions such as login, transfers and the editing of personal data.
Imagine a WireBank user needs to update their personal information. In this case, the company has set up an authorisation flow to protect this action. Thus, when the user tries to modify his/her data, the operation is automatically blocked until a supervisor approves it from the Latch Support Tool.
The same system can be applied to other sensitive operations, such as the payment authorisation above a certain amount, the management of access permissions on business platforms or the modification of critical configurations in a digital infrastructure.
You can protect your company’s most sensitive operations with the TU Latch Professional Plan. Access to advanced authorisation control tools or
the ability to customise security flows according to your business needs, ensuring that only authorised persons perform critical operations.
