Non-Consumer Users

Non-Consumer Users refer to individuals who interact with system components but are distinct from cardholders or general consumers. This category broadly includes employees, administrators, and third parties who require access to system infrastructure as part of their professional or operational roles. These users are typically involved in the management, maintenance, or support of the system, and may have privileges that allow them to perform tasks beyond those of standard consumer interactions.

For example, employees may need access to internal databases to perform their job duties, administrators might require higher-level privileges to manage system settings, and third-party vendors could be granted limited access to specific parts of the system for maintenance or troubleshooting purposes. The designation of Non-Consumer Users helps delineate the scope of access and control within the system, ensuring that only authorized individuals can interact with sensitive or critical components, thus safeguarding the integrity and security of the system.
