Privileges & Roles

Privileges

There are assigned privileges for users of The Data Grid. A guest is anyone who is on the website, and has immediate access to all public audit data through the data query. Guests become a user once an account has been made with an associated email address, and can manage their personal data on the website. A superuser is a user with administrative privileges, and can manage all server data.

Roles

Roles are for users, not guests or superusers. There are two roles within an organization on The Data Grid. The audior role is given to users who conduct an audit within an organization. Auditors can:
  • Upload, edit, and query data
  • Upload documents
  • See database features
The admin role is given to users that manage the audit process, and have extended privileges to give and revoke the auditor role to others in the organization. In addition to all the permissions of auditors, admins can:
  • Grant or revoke access to auditors
  • Delete data

Managing Roles

You must be logged in to an admin account to manage roles within your organization. Go to the "Organization Management" tab to begin.
