Forcing the upload to be performed by two separate roles

Effectively there is a separation of duties between the user who logs onto online banking and users who will prepare and upload files, however, the database can be configured so that a separate users needs to  log on to prepare and upload a file. Any user (including an administrator) is then prevented from performing both prepare and upload files.
