Symptoms
As a provider I want to configure a payment method (e.g. like Check/Cash) to be available only in the provider's control panel, the customers in the CCP shall not be able to create payments with this method. Release notes confirm such feature in PBA 5.5.
Resolution
Uncheck an option Enabled in the payment system settings:
