IMSMANG allows information managers to control permissions for IMSMANG functions through the management of users and roles. With multiple permission levels for the Workbench, for example, different users can be assigned different permissions, allowing programmes to implement a data-entry workflow that distinguisheses between data entry and data verification roles. It is recommended to set up a permission structure that reserves approval authority for Data Entry Forms for the most trusted users.
| Typical IMSMANG Roles | |
|---|---|
| Role | Description |
| Data Entry | Users whose primary function is to enter Data Entry Forms and other data into the system. This role may or may not include the ability to approve Data Entry Forms. |
| Data Verification | Users who typically perform quality checks on the data entered by Data Entry users. This role is often responsible for verifying the accuracy of the data entered and approving Data Entry Forms. |
| Operations | Users who typically browse for information within IMSMANG to make operational decisions. Operations users may sometimes be grouped by function (for example, education, clearance, or victim assistance). These users often perform searches for data, generate reports and analyze the data to support operational needs. |
| Systems Administrator | Users who perform information management-specific functions such as creating Data Entry Form templates, designing reports, backing up and restoring data and other technical functions. |
| Guest | Users with essentially read-only access to browse data. |

To add, change permissions associated with, or remove IMSMA roles, you must have access to the Role Admin permission |
Access to IMSMA functions are handled by the use of permissions. Permissions allow a user to view information related to a function, or view and change information related to a function. Roles are named groups of permissions that can be assigned to users. IMSMA includes several predefined roles that have one or more permissions assigned to them. The predefined IMSMA roles are Operations, System Administrator, Data Entry, and Guest.
