Administration

Managing Permissions

Users in OpenEMIS can be given a specific role allowing them to view certain modules, schools within a region, and be able to view, add, edit, delete or execute certain features. Staff and students are automatically limited to view only the school they are assigned to. Other users can be defined using the Security feature in the Administration module.

A list of all users is available by selecting Users from the Security menu. A Global administrator can view account information and, if needed, reset a password for a user.

To configure permissions an administrator can define the roles such as Principal, Teacher, or Head of Department available in the system by selecting Roles from the Security menu. They can adapt existing roles or create a new role.

To adjust the permissions, click on the name of the role. Click on the permissions then edit toadjust the ability of a user to view a module and the actions they can complete within it.
