Streamlined User Authorization with Glenosoft eCatalog




Robust Authentication and Authorization:

Once a user is authenticated successfully, the Glenosoft eCatalog system efficiently determines the user's hierarchy and access levels. This structured approach ensures that every user interacts only with the data and functionalities relevant to their role, enhancing both security and user experience.


User Types and Permissions:

eCatalog supports two primary user types:


  • Administrator (Super Administrator)
    This role has full access to all functionalities within the system. Typically designated for technical administrators, it provides comprehensive control and oversight capabilities.
  • User
    This role does not include super-admin functionalities. Access rights for users vary based on their position within the organizational hierarchy, ensuring appropriate access and operational efficiency.
  • Power User or Application Owner
    A selected group of users who have access to all functionalities except for critical security administration tasks, such as User Administration. This role is ideal for those who require extensive system capabilities without full administrative powers.


Hierarchical Access Control:

Users can be categorized into several hierarchical levels for more granular access control:


  • Divisions, Institutions, Departments, and Groups
    Users may belong to one or more of these categories, reflecting the structure and needs of your organization.
  • Individual Users
    Represents specific end-users within the system.


Permission Groups and System Permissions:

Each level in the user hierarchy can be assigned specific Permission Groups, such as:


  • Group HR: Might have "Full Control" and "Contribute" permissions.
  • Group Medical Affair: Typically assigned "Contribute" permissions.


These groups represent bundled system permissions, which include detailed capabilities like Add, Edit, Delete, View, and Manage. For instance, the "Full Control" group includes comprehensive permissions to fully manage system resources, while the "Contribute" group allows for adding, editing, and viewing without the ability to manage or delete.


Module-Specific Permissions:

In addition to general permissions, eCatalog includes module-specific permissions that cater to particular functionalities, like the "Generate Report" permission for the Adhoc Report module.


Customizable Access Control Lists (ACL):

Tailor the ACL to meet specific organizational needs with eCatalog's customizable mechanisms. This flexibility ensures that your security and operational protocols align perfectly with your business requirements.
