# Payments in Lerian Console

> Issue boletos, pay bills (DARF and utilities), and manage payment operations through the Payments plugin for Midaz in Lerian Console.

**Payments** is a managed plugin for **Midaz** in Lerian Console. It lets you issue boletos and pay bills. Bill types include DARF tax payments and utility and concessionaire bills. Lerian provisions it for your organization, like the Fees Engine. You open it from the product launcher. This section explains how to use the Console to issue boletos, pay bills, and manage payment operations.

<Warning>
  Payments is available only if your organization acquired the Payments product. To get access, [contact our team](https://lerian.studio/contact).
</Warning>

## Activating the Payments plugin

***

Lerian delivers Payments as a managed plugin. After Lerian provisions it for your organization, you enable it from the [Plugins Settings](/en/platform/console/plugin-settings) page.

To enable Payments:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Make sure the Payments plugin is available for your organization. If it is not, [contact our team](https://lerian.studio/contact).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Open the **product launcher** in Lerian Console and select **Midaz**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    In the **PLUGINS** section, select **Settings** > **Plugins**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enable **Payments**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Accessing Payments

***

To access Payments, select it from the **PLUGINS** section in the Midaz module.

## Permissions and RBAC

***

Role-based access control (RBAC) controls access to the Payments plugin. You manage permissions the same way as other Midaz plugins, through [Access Manager](/en/platform/console/am-creating-application).

Typical permissions include:

* **View** — list and inspect boletos and bill payments.
* **Create** — issue boletos and pay bills.
* **Manage** — cancel boletos and payments when their state allows it.

Assign these permissions to the relevant roles. Then only authorized users can issue payments. A user without Payments permissions does not see the plugin in the product launcher.
