Why Can't an Agent Update a Transaction Field?

Is an agent unable to change a certain field on a transaction? For security and compliance reasons, agents' may only be able to perform certain actions on a transaction. This guide explains what is required for agents to edit each transaction field.

Reason

When an agent cannot update a certain field on a transaction, Pipeline is doing its job and limiting what the agent is allowed to change.

Once a transaction has been added, Pipeline automatically controls what fields an agent can edit based on the permissions an admin has granted them and general security rules set by the system. 

Solution

To troubleshoot this:

  1. If you are an agent, ask your admin to update the field for you.
  2. If you are an admin and would like to know what is required for an agent to update a certain field, check the field below.
