Security Roles

It is important for the IQS System Manager to identify the levels of security for the management of this information database. They should meet with the organization’s agency administrator and determine who should have access to the IQS information. They should determine who may enter information, change or modify records, certify and qualify individuals for various job classifications, issue “Incident Cards” and view the records.

 

Seven roles are defined for the IQS system as explained below. The roles are used to control access to the modules within IQS, control what data the user can work with in IQS and actions the user can perform within the modules.  Reference the Security Roles Matrix for the details of access given to each role within IQSweb.  IQS users can be assigned to only one role.  IQS is distributed with a user called IQSweb that has been given the role of Manager.  New IQS users can only be created or edited by an existing user with the role of Manager.  

 

Organizational Level Access (OLA) is used to limit the records to which a user has access.  OLA is applied to all roles except Manager.  

 

Qualification Level Access (QLA) is used to limit the positions to which users have access.  QLA is defined via Job Permission groups, which can be assigned to users with the role of Data Entry Support. Job Permission groups are identified in the Reference Data/Job Permissions module.  For the positions identified, a user with the role Data Entry Support can add, edit or delete these positions in person's Qualifications or Task Books and also print the positions on an Incident Qualification Card.  For jobs that are not identified, a user with the role Data Entry Support can only view those Qualifications or Task Books and cannot print those qualification on an Incident Qualification Card.  Users can be assigned multiple QLA groups. If a user has multiple QLA groups, the positions that are listed in each group will be combined when using QLA-protected pages.
