Role Based Security Policies

In a multi user environment, it can be tedious to set up
and control access for every member of staff accessing the
system individually. More flexible and powerful systems will
allow you to easily configure access by role and attach this
role to individual user accounts. They also allow you to tailor
individual user screens and menus to roles or users – it’s
certainly worth challenging your current or potential systems
against these criteria.

Personalised Menu Options &

Screens

There is a natural inquisitive trait inside everyone and as such,
it is important to expect that users of your computer system
will naturally explore all available information. It is vitally
important that your core financial and cost information is
hidden from prying eyes. Your system should allow the system
administrator to provide access to relevant information and
functionality for all staff through provision of customised
interfaces. This way, it is easy to ensure that all back door
access is shut down. But equally important is the fact that
screens personalised to individual’s roles will make them
significantly more productive. With all the controls, KPI data
and information they need to do their job accessible on one
screen, your team will be more efficient and your customers
happier.
