Maker Checker
Maker-checker (or Maker and Checker) is one of the central principles of authorization in the Information Systems of financial organizations. In Maker and Checker feature for each transaction, there must be at least two individuals necessary for its completion. While one individual may create a transaction, the other individual should be involved in confirmation or authorization of the same. Here the segregation of duties plays an important role. In this way, strict control is kept over system software and data thus bringing OmniDocs Administrative operations under the preview of Dual-Authorization i.e. Maker-Checker so as to strengthen the security of DMS The operations that come under the preview of MakerChecker are : Add user Modify user properties Add group Modify group properties Associate/Remove user from group
Some of the key features of Maker-Checker are:
Maker and Checker users have been differentiated on the basis of
privileges.

For a single request, maker and Checker can not be same. Maker will initiate the request for change and Checker or user having
Checker privilege can approve/reject the request.
Request once accepted by Checker will be reflected as a change in the
system. Also for all rejected requests , Checker has to state the reason for disapproval.
Requests once send by any Maker can be approved by any Checker and in
case he rejects the request then he should state the reason of rejection in comments.
For every Request Made for verification by Maker User and every request
verified by Checker, auditing should be done. To enable Maker-Checker functionality the particular option needs to be checked as shown in the figure.
