Viewing Permissions

Glossary Item Box

Purpose: This document provides an overview of viewing permissions within the security system.

Viewing Permissions

From the left panel, you may either select the base permission node(1), a category node (2), or one of the individual permission nodes (3).

  1. Base Permission Node - When the base permission node is selected all permissions within the application will be displayed in the panel on the right.
  2. Category Nodes - When a base category node is selected all permission for a particular category will be displayed in panel on the right. Its list is identical to the list displayed when the base permission node is selected, the only difference being that the data is filtered to match the selected category.
  3. Individual Permission Nodes - When selected, Roles and Users assigned to that particular permission will be displayed in the panel on the right.
    • Permission Header - The grid at the top of the panel is provided to inform the administrator of the permission's purpose as well as the role's auditing settings.
      1. Denied Action - Indicates the action for a denied permission. This is for reference and support and cannot be changed by the application user.
      2. Denied Message or Key - Indicates the actual message or message key (used for localization) which will be used to inform the user. This is for reference and support and cannot be changed by the application user.
      3. Description - Used to provide additional information to the application administrator when trying to identify the purpose of a particular permission.
      4. Auditing -
        • Application Events - When checked a log will be updated each time the permission is accessed. For example, if the patient enrollment permission has the application event selected, every time the form is accessed a log entry would be created.
        • Data Events - This event works in conjunction with the actual form properties or business object settings. It is used to track data changes: creating records, editing records, or deleting records. It is controlled by the application developer and is placed on the header for reference.

          • Note: The auditing functionality described above was not included with the 1.5 release of Strataframe. This functionality will become available with a future release.

    • Roles Assigned - All roles that have been attached to the permission will be displayed.
    • Users Assigned - All users that have been assigned the permission will be displayed.
    • Status Bar - The status bar at the bottom of each list represents a snapshot of roles and users that have the following access: granted, blocked, or read only.
