User roles/profiles

IMIS uses the concept of user profiles (roles) that can be associated with users. Some roles are predefined and they are designated as system roles. Their purpose is guarantee compatibility with the previous versions of IMIS.

User roles/profiles administration is restricted to users with the role of openIMIS Administrator.

User roles/profiles control page

The User roles/profile control page is the central point for all user roles/profiles administration. By having access to this page, it is possible to add, edit, delete and search users roles/profiles. The page is divided into four panels (Image User roles/profiles control page).

Administration of users’ profile s(roles) is not included in any system role. It can be accomplished by the Admin user or by users to which such administration is delegated (by defining a role including an access to Administration/User Profiles) by the Admin user.

Pre-conditions

A new user profile may only be added or thereafter edited, after an approval of the management of the scheme administration. It can be accomplished at the beginning only by the Admin user. The Admin user can define a new user profile incorporating also adding, editing or deleting of user profiles and create new users with this profile. In this way, rights to the register of user profiles can be delegated to other users besides the Admin user.

Navigation

All functionality for use with the administration of user profiles can be found under the main menu ADMINISTRATION, sub menu USER PROFILES
