District SRHR Primer

District SRHR Primer, where diverse stakeholders need access to varying levels of information and functionalities. Below, are the features incorporated and the key components:

Role-Based User Management Framework

1. Multi-Layered User Roles

  • Core Concept:
    • Create hierarchical roles with predefined access privileges and capabilities.
    • Example roles:
      • Super Admin: Platform-wide control, including user management, configurations, and reporting.
      • District Manager: Full access to district-specific data, activity planning, and performance tracking.
      • Health Worker: Limited access to log activities, update progress, and view assigned tasks.
      • Guest User: Restricted access to general summaries and resources (read-only mode).
  • Purpose:
    • Ensure that sensitive data and advanced functionalities are accessible only to authorized users.
    • Provide focused and relevant access based on the user's role and responsibilities.

2. Key Functionalities of Role-Based Management

  • User Registration and Assignment:
    • Ability to add users and assign them roles during registration.
    • Bulk import of users (e.g., via Excel/CSV files) for large-scale implementations.
  • Role Definition:
    • Define granular permissions for each role (e.g., view, edit, delete, or manage activities).
    • Custom roles with specific capabilities to address unique needs.
  • Multi-Layer Hierarchy:
    • Allow nested roles (e.g., sub-district users reporting to district managers).
    • Permission inheritance for efficient role management.
  • Region-Based Access:
    • Restrict users to specific geographical regions (e.g., a district manager can only see data for their district).

3. User Management Interface

  • Features:
    • Dashboard for Admins:
      • View all registered users with filters (e.g., by role, region, or status).
    • Action Controls:
      • Enable admins to create, deactivate, or delete users.
      • Reset passwords or update roles as needed.
  • Purpose:
    • Simplify user onboarding and administrative tasks for the platform.

4. Audit Trails for Transparency

  • Features:
    • Record user activities (e.g., logins, edits, data exports) with timestamps.
    • Filter logs by user role, activity type, or date range.
  • Purpose:
    • Enhance accountability and track potential misuse of the system.

5. Customizable Access Privileges

  • Examples of Role-Specific Privileges:
    • Super Admin:
      • Manage users, configure platform settings, and view all district data.
    • District Manager:
      • Manage activities, track performance, and generate district-specific reports.
    • Health Worker:
      • Update assigned tasks, log outreach activity data, and view individual performance.
    • Guest User:
      • Access general SRHR performance summaries and resources in a read-only mode.

6. Dynamic Access Control

  • Features:
    • Context-based permissions: Adjust user access dynamically based on activity (e.g., temporary admin privileges for specific tasks).
    • Real-time user role updates: Immediate effect of role changes without requiring logouts.
  • Purpose:
    • Provide flexibility in user role management and respond to evolving needs.

7. Scalable Implementation

  • Ensure the system is designed to support hundreds or thousands of users without performance degradation.
  • Add APIs for user management to integrate with external identity providers (e.g., LDAP, Single Sign-On).

Potential Workflow

  1. User Onboarding:
    • A super admin creates users and assigns them roles and regions during setup.
  2. Role-Specific Dashboards:
    • Users log in to see a personalized dashboard based on their role (e.g., health workers see tasks, managers see district-wide data).
  3. Permissions Management:
    • Admins update permissions dynamically if a user’s responsibilities change.
  4. Monitoring:
    • Audit trails and activity logs keep track of user actions for security and transparency.

Benefits of Implementing Multi-Layered Role-Based Management

  • Security: Prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
  • Efficiency: Focus users on the tasks and data relevant to their role, reducing complexity.
  • Scalability: Adaptable to new roles or organizational structures as the platform evolves.
  • Accountability: Ensure users are held accountable for actions with clear tracking and permissions.
