Using Reference Consent Self-Service And Admin Portals

With Cloudentity consent self-service and consent admin portals you can enable users and administrators to manage Open Banking consents. Use Cloudentity Open Banking Quickstart application to test integration between data recipient's apps, Cloudentity, and consent management portals.

Consent management applications can be divided into two categories:

  • Consent self-service portals, where customers are able to manage their consents, for example, to revoke them.

  • Consent admin portal, where administrators can manage consents for the customers, for example, to revoke a consent on a customer’s request.

Cloudentity delivers both portals as part of the Open Banking Quickstart GitHub project. Both applications, the consent self-service portal and the consent admin portal, can be adjusted to be compliant with the following directives:

  • Open Banking UK

  • Open Banking Brazil

  • Consumer Data Right

  • Financial Data Exchange

Prerequisites

  1. You have set up Open Banking Quickstart environment.

    Your environment can be configured to be compliant with any available Open Banking directive.

    Quickstart Setup for CDR

    The Open Banking Quickstart project contains mocked Data Recipient application that you can find under https://datarecipient.mock:9001/. You can go through the whole flow using the Mock Data Recipient to discover available Data Holders, get Software Statement Assertion (SSA), dynamically register your Mock Data Recipient to a Mock Data Holder brand, and initiate the authorization flow with the selected Data Holder.

  2. You have granted any consents for third party applications.

Manage Consents in Self-Service Portal

  1. Access the consent self-service portal that is available under https://localhost:8085/.

  2. Authenticate as the same user for whom you granted consents as the part of the prerequisites.

    The landing page for the consent self-service portal opens. Go Bank is a mock financial institution used by Cloudentity to illustrate the flow of Open Banking/Data ecosystems. You can see all expired and active consents and filter them by consent type.
