Permissions

This page of iGene displays a list of all the permissions that have been created in the system. Permissions are used to control access to different parts of the system. It is possible to create, edit and delete permissions from this page.

On this example, Hospital was clicked which generated the Roles for Hospital table. Next, View was clicked on the test row, which generated the bottom table named Users in test for OU: Hospital.

The list of roles can be defined and assigned to specific users. Examples may be Administrator, Doctor, Nurse, Student, etc. as they would only require access and reading permissions to certain parts of the system.

Clicking the Roles/Permissions tab opens the following page where the roles can be defined.
