ObjectiveParticipants will understand the...

• GRIN-Global security model

• next steps in the NPGS gap analysis

Security: 2 Concepts

Ownership• “Owned_by” is determined by the

user who creates the record

• Only the owner of the record can transfer ownership to another user

Ownership• When someone creates an accession_name

record, the owner is the same as the owner of the accession

Ownership• When relationships are

mapped between dataviews, the children (tables) inherit the security settings of the parent

• (Currently) the inheritance only cascades one level

PermissionsFor each user, permissions are applied to:• a specific table• a specific dataview• database-wide

Permission DefinedA permission restricts or grants access to a resource in GRIN-Global.

A resource is defined as a specific table, dataview, or row. A permission defines four kinds of rights:• Create• Read• Update• Delete

All Access Permissionis applied database-wide

–users will be able to:• Create• Read• Update• Delete

•... for all data

Permissions DefinedEach right can have one of three values:

Value DescriptionAllow Allows accessDeny Denies accessInherit Neither allows nor denies access; access is

situational; it is inherited from a previous definition
