Administrating MINT

Managing organisations

Organisations only exist in MINT, there is no equivalent in lightMINT.

The organisation concept

The organisation concept in MINT is a way to have separate, private spaces for each mine action programme, operator, or any other actor using MINT. Each organisation has its own data sources, reports, dashboards, etc. that only users belonging to that organisation can access (depending on their specific permissions). For example, users from the organisation MAC1 cannot access objects from the organisation MAC2. An exception to this are organisations in parent-child relationships. For example, the organisation MAC1 could have a sub-organisation named Regional MAC1. In this case, users from the parent organisation MAC1 can access the objects of the child organisation Regional MAC1, but not the other way round.

The organisation name needs to be provided when logging into MINT. There is no drop-down list of organisations, so users need to know the exact spelling of their organisation.

Adding sub-organisations

Administrators of an organisation can create sub-organisations. The initial parent organisation has to be created by the global MINT administrator though. This is done when a programme / actor decides to get started on MINT.

Administrators of a parent organisation can create sub-organisations. To do so, the following steps are required:

1. On the top menu, select Manage → Organizations
2. In the left-hand pane named Organizations, select/highlight the organisation for which a sub-organisation should be created (there can be a hierarchy of organisations)
3. Click on Add Organization...
4. Provide a name, an ID and an alias for the new organisation. The name is displayed in the folder structure; the ID is a unique identifier that cannot be changed; the alias is the name to be used on the login page, and hence the one to communicate to users of that organisation.

1. Click on Add Organization to <Parent Organisation Name>

When a new organisation is created, by default it has two users: jasperadmin (an administrator) and joeuser (a user) with the respective passwords jasperadmin and joeuser. It is recommended to immediately change the password of jasperadmin, and delete the joeuser user.
