    1. Navigate to https://app.blackbaud.com/marketplace/?svcid=paymt

    2. Select Security in the top menu bar. (If you do not see security in the menu bar using the previous link, try navigating to https://host.nxt.blackbaud.com/payments-api)

    3. Ensure you have a Fundraising role in place:

    • Under Raiser's Edge NXT roles, create a new role under Fundraising roles by clicking the plus sign +.

    • On the Create Fundraising role screen, enter a role name and description (Used for your reference).

    • The Copy Role option will appear if fundraising roles already exist. Further, this option can be left blank.

    • Mark all the permissions as shown in the screenshot above ☝️

    • Click Save at the bottom of the screen.

Step 2: Add a New Security Group

    • Note: Skip this step if you already have a security group that has Admin-level Full Access Security group permissions.

You may not find an Admin Group - Full Rights option. In that case, follow the below steps to add a new security group via database view 👈

  • Open the Database view of Raiser's Edge.

  • Navigate to the Admin option from the Navigation bar as shown below 👇

  • Navigate to the Security option under Administration and select New Group to create a new admin group.

  • On the pop-up box, add the Group name and Description as per your preference 👇

  • Ensure you check all the boxes under Group Privileges and then save the changes.

Step 3: Grant Fundraising and Security Group - Full Access Permissions.

  • Navigate to the Users tab and select the user you who will be granted access 👇

  • On the User details screen, select Manage roles.


  • Select the newly created fundraising role from the Fundraising drop-down under the Raiser's Edge NXT section.

  • Select Edit > Create a new user option under Security groups and select the option that has the full/highest rights if permissions are yet to be granted👇

  • Or select the Edit option if security group permissions have already been granted 👇

  • Select the option that has full rights and save the changes👇

The connected account on Almabase now has the required permissions for us to go ahead and sync gifts.
