User Access Control

Roles & User Access

In FlinkISO QMS you can handle roles & user access at multiple layers. At top you can divide users as following:

  • Admin Users : Full access
  • Approvers : Can approve records sent to them
  • HODs : Can access records in branches & departments only
  • Users : Limited access

Role Description
Admin
  • Admin users will have full access to the system. They can create other admin users, add masters, view records added by all users in all branches & departments and are default approvers.
Approvers
  • When you create users from employees, users inherit employee's branch/department as well as departmental role.
  • A user, where employee is defined as "Approver", is by default added as "Approver".
  • Any user from any branch, department can send records to these approvers for approvals.
  • Approvers can edit/delete records sent to them for approvals.
  • However Approvers can not by-default view any records unless and untill such records are from the branches assigned to them.
HODs
  • Users are added as HODs if the employee is set as HOD.
  • These users can access records from the branches & departments assigned to them.
  • These users, by-default inherit branch & department from Employee.
  • You can assign additional branches to these users, from User's Edit page.
  • Once you assign additional branches, these users can see records created by other users from those branches as well.
Users
  • When user is added without any of the above roles, these users can access application with limited rights.
  • These users can access only specific section of the application which is assigned to them.
  • Role of these users are mainly adding data to the application.
  • These users mainly derive the access from the documents or HTML Forms shared with them.
  • These users can not publish any records before sending those records to Approvers.
  • Unless explicitly defined, these users can not see records added by other users.

Document Access

edit multiple users

At 2nd layer of user access, document access to each and every user can be defined from the Document's add/ edit page. Under document's add/ edit page, you can define access to the users based of their branches, departments, designations or individual users. E.g. If the document is shared with "A" branch and "B" department, everyone from branch "A" and department "B" will be able to "View" that document. However, none of these uses will be able to Edit the document. You specifically have to define the Editors, (including the document creator) as editors. Only then a user will be able to edit the document.

Custom HTML Table Access

At 3rd layer, you can define who can access each Custom HTML Form that you create using FlinkISO APIs. By default, all custom HTML Forms are derived from the document and hence they automatically inherit the access from the QMS Document for which the custom Form is created. E.g. If you have a Customer Complaint Document which has access to branch "A" and if you create a custom HTML Table for the Customer Complaint document, then everyone from branch "A" will have access to this table. However, you override these access control from the custom HTML Table's View page and define following:

edit multiple users

  • Creator: Users who can create (Add), edit, delete records to this table.
  • Editors: Users who can not add new records, but can Edit the existing records.
  • Approvers: Users who can only View and Approve the records which are shared with them for an approvals. However, if the records is sent to these users in Edit mode enabled, then these users can edit those specific records.
  • Viewers: Users who can only view the records.

Quickly Re-define User Access For A User

edit multiple users

It is now made easy to re-define Document/ Custom HTML Table access for a single user without going through each and every document/ table. You can goto User's View page and system will display all the available documents & Custom HTML Forms. You can then check/ uncheck the access for each document/ Custom HTML Form. This feature is very useful when you add a new user post QMS setup. Note that if a Document is shared with entire branch/ department/ designation, then it will be automatically be shared with a user and check mark will be grayed out.

Copy Access Control From One user to another

edit multiple users

If you are creating an identical users, where the permissions/ access for new user is same (or almost same) as a user you have already created in past, then you can just copy all the access as it is from the existing user to new user by selecting the existing user from the drop-down. This will add all the access to QMS Documents/ Custom HTML Forms form the existing to new user. You can then additionally change other options (like creator/ viewer etc) from the index page by clicking on the check/ cross icons.

Note that user may have to logout/ login again for some of these changes to take effect.
