Security settings

The Security Settings table contains:

  • PERMISSIONS - Single items which allow access to / performance of a single task.

  • ACTIVITIES - Groups of permissions which allow access to / performance of a group of related tasks.

  • ROLES - Groups of activities which allow access to / performance of all tasks required for that role.

    • Tip:

    We recommend applying permissions to an activity (rather than users or roles) so that when new permissions are added to Cris, you only need to edit one item.

There are security settings to allow access to each module. To amend a user's roles and activities, see Cris users.

Tip:

Press the Esc key to exit a field without making a selection from an options list.

Tip:

Add the activity [SITE CODE]_WEB to allow a user access to new Cris web applications (such as Vetting and Reporting).

Example:

The permission CHANGE_VETTING allows a user to enter and edit vetting details.

The activity MODVET gives a user all permissions related to vetting (including VETTING, CHANGE_VETTING, JUSTIFY).

The role RADIOGV gives a user all activities necessary for a radiographer, plus access to vetting.
