System Security

The system prevents unauthorized access into the process control and prevents unauthorized software or data changes.

Application Security

The system gives you the ability to control access to the system:

User authentication
1. Minimum user name and password based authentication
2. Password complexity enforcement
3. Password expiry
4. User lock-out for incorrectly entering password a set number of times during login.
Electronic Records
1. Only authorized personnel can access data
2. All data changes will be logged
Irrefutability
1. Where applicable Electronic data will be associated with their approver in an irrefutable manner
Privileges
1. Access to various system functions will be controlled via user role membership

User Privileges

Various roles are assigned to specific system functions as per the table below.

A set of roles may be combined in a group and then that group can be assigned to a user.

For more information on groups and roles, see section Group Management Form.

The following roles are available:
