Workspace configuration holds the workspace-wide operational settings that govern tax, audit retention, and how disbursements are controlled. These settings are stored once per workspace in the TenantConfig record. They apply to every loan and every branch in your credit union. Branding and branches are configured separately on the Workspace setup page. Required role: Administrator, which holds admin.tenant.manage. The Credit Manager holds the admin.disbursement.config capability, but no in-product editor currently consumes it for these settings (see below).

​
Settings stored in TenantConfig

Every workspace has exactly one TenantConfig record. The platform creates it at onboarding with the defaults below.
SettingFieldDefaultWhat it does
Audit anchor retentionauditAnchorRetentionYears7Years to retain external audit anchors. 7 is the Bank of Jamaica minimum. Configurable at onboarding
GCT rategctRateBps1500The General Consumption Tax rate in basis points. 1500 equals 15 percent. Applied only to fee lines flagged taxable
Dual-control thresholddualControlThresholdCentsNot set (NULL)When a disbursement’s net-to-member is at or above this amount, a second approver must sign off before release. Stored in cents. NULL means dual control is off
AML screening requiredamlScreeningRequiredfalseWhen on, every payee must screen CLEAR before a disbursement can execute
Auto-disburse enabledautoDisburseEnabledfalseWhen on, a scheduled disbursement that clears every gate releases automatically (see below)
Auto-disburse thresholdautoDisburseThresholdCentsNot set (NULL)The ceiling for auto-disbursement. A disbursement whose net is at or below this amount can auto-release. Stored in cents. NULL means no ceiling is configured, so nothing auto-releases even when the feature is on
Privileged audit viewerauditPrivilegedViewerEnabledfalseReserved for a future separation-of-duties audit role. Ships false for every workspace today
Of these, only audit anchor retention can be configured (at onboarding). The GCT rate, dual-control threshold, AML screening flag, and both auto-disburse fields currently take their schema defaults shown above, and there is no shipped way to change them per workspace after go-live.
Amounts are stored in cents. A dual-control threshold of JMD $5,000,000 is 500000000.

​
Audit anchor retention

auditAnchorRetentionYears defaults to 7, the Bank of Jamaica minimum. The value can be lengthened but cannot be shortened retroactively. External audit anchors are written to COMPLIANCE-mode object-lock storage, which prevents early deletion by design.

​
GCT rate

gctRateBps is the General Consumption Tax rate in basis points. The default 1500 is 15 percent, the Jamaica standard. The rate applies only to fee lines that are flagged taxable. Changing it affects new disbursement fee calculations going forward. It does not recompute fees on disbursements that already executed.

​
Disbursement control settings

Four of these settings govern how disbursements are gated. They are summarized above. The full behavior, including how dual control, AML screening, per-officer limits, and auto-disbursement interact at execution time, is documented on the Disbursement controls page.
  • Dual-control threshold (dualControlThresholdCents). A maker-checker gate on large disbursements.
  • AML screening required (amlScreeningRequired). Forces a CLEAR screening result on every payee.
  • Auto-disburse enabled (autoDisburseEnabled) and auto-disburse threshold (autoDisburseThresholdCents). Releases small, fully-cleared disbursements without manual action.
Enabling auto-disburse alone does not release anything. A scheduled disbursement auto-releases only when all five conditions hold: the feature is on, the net-to-member is at or below the auto-disburse threshold, there is no pending dual-control approval, AML screening is satisfied (when required), and the officer is within their own limit. Anything above the threshold or with an unsatisfied gate still needs manual execution. Per-officer disbursement limits are not stored in TenantConfig. Each individual officer’s ceiling is set on their workspace membership and is covered on the Disbursement controls page.

​
The optional post-disbursement securities re-check

Some credit unions require a final securities verification after funds have already gone out, for example to confirm vehicle insurance was activated or a lien was filed. Most do not. This behavior is controlled by securitiesFinalCheckRequired, a workflow override stored separately from TenantConfig. It defaults to off. When off, a disbursed loan moves straight toward filing. When on, the loan returns to the Securities team for a final check after disbursement.
The post-disbursement re-check is off by default. Leave it off unless your credit union has a documented policy that requires re-verifying collateral after funds are released.

​
How configuration is set

The TenantConfig record is written in one place today: the workspace onboarding CLI command db:onboard-tenant. It validates the configuration file, creates the workspace, writes the TenantConfig row, and records a tenant.onboarded audit event. See Workspace setup for the onboarding flow. The onboarding write only sets auditAnchorRetentionYears (from the config file, default 7) and auditPrivilegedViewerEnabled (always false). It does not write the GCT rate, dual-control threshold, AML flag, or auto-disburse fields, so those take their schema defaults. There is currently no admin UI or server action that edits any of these after go-live.
The admin.disbursement.config capability exists and is held by the Credit Manager in anticipation of an in-product disbursement-controls editor, but no surface consumes it for TenantConfig writes yet. When that editor ships, this page will document how a Credit Manager changes these values.
Your workspace slug is fixed at onboarding and is not part of the editable configuration. It is embedded in every URL your team uses and cannot be changed afterward.
