Roles, permissions and audit trail

School roles and audit log: every change has a name.

Decide what each role can see and do, school-wide or per section, with an audit trail that is added to and never rewritten.

Fine-grained permissions · Roles school-wide or per section

For the ICT administrator

Fine-grained permissions, granted school-wide or per section.

Give each role what it needs and nothing more. A bursar given one section works with that section.

  • Decide exactly what each role can see and do.
  • Create your own role when ready-made ones do not fit.
  • Manage every account and switch access on or off.

  • Access granted per section.
  • One current term or semester per section.
  • Each institution’s records kept apart from every other.

Who changed what, when and from where.

The audit trail records the person, the action, the time and the address it came from.

  • Everyone signs in with their own account.
  • Append-only: entries are added, never rewritten.
  • Seen by the people whose role allows it.

Questions

What schools ask us first.

Can a role be granted for one section only?
Yes. Roles are granted school-wide or per section, so a head of one section sees that section’s students and data.
Can we make our own roles?
Yes. Create a role, choose what it can see and do from fine-grained permissions, and give it to the people who need it.
Can an audit entry be changed or deleted?
No one can change an entry. The audit trail is append-only, and entries are cleared only after the retention period the school sets.
What happens to an account when someone leaves the school?
An admin switches the account off in user management; it is not deleted. The audit trail keeps what that person did.
