Thanks Lars for updating members on new development on user roles. The assigning of finer right to various users is of paramount at this stage. This will go along way in improving security and even create ownership. The roles to various Coordinators like HIV, DDSR, RH, TB&L, HR, Financial officers will be able to see only what is related to their core activities. The role assign to Enter data will improve participation/ empowerment on the dataset or reports received from various Health facilities where technology is not available.
Lars, Clarification on:- - The current user can not issue his own user roles to another user and also amend/update the existing user meaning there will be communication facilitating the amendment of other users rights. -Because we don't want districts users to create new district users, rather to create facility users and coordinators of various programmes only.
