11. User Management
The LabMaster-aw neo user management offers the ability to deny unautho-
rised access or changes in settings on the aw-meter itself. It is a vital function in
laboratories and in production environment where various people from different
departments need access to the instrument. Selective permission can be granted
by an administrator.
Based on many customer feedbacks, especially from the pharmaceutical indus-
try, Novasina has implemented a user management which is 100% compliant
with 21CFR11 requirement and thereby can be used to establish the well-known
3-level permission management which is best practice in pharma environments
and works also well under GMP/GLP guidelines.
The user management in combination with the audit trail allows a tracking of
measurement and change in parameters down to a specific user.
The user management of the LabMaster-aw neo work differently to predeces-
sors or other instruments from the Novasina water activity meter portfolio.
To set-up a user management successfully, the following steps need to be perfor-
med:
1.
Design the requested user management (which user has which permission).
2.
Program permission profiles (i.e. QC-lab, production, R&D etc).
3.
Create user accounts per user and allocate with the respective permission
profile.
The advantage of such permission profile / user account set-ups is obvious. If a
person quites the job, there is no need to delete a complete permission set-up.
Only the user account needs to be deleted and things are done. Same if a new
person joins the team. No time-consuming permission programming needs to
be performed, simply a new user account has to be created and to be allocated
with an existing permission profile according to the job function of the respecti-
ve person.
11.1 Basic Functionality of User Management
The user management consists of a random number of „permission profiles“
which are allocated at a random number of user accounts.
11.1.1 How to Create a User Account with Respective Permissions
This is a step-to-step guidance how a designed user management is transferred
into the instrument with proper permission profiles and allocated user accounts.
•
Create a permission profile:
- Go to „System settings“ -> „User management“ -> „Permission profiles“
-> New permission profile“
- Enter a specific name for the profile (QC-lab, production, R&D etc.) and
confirm by pushing the „tick“ button
- In the following window, named „Copy from“ select „NONE (default
without permissions)“
- A new window appears with all permission settings for that profile. Now
you can adapt permissions to allow or deny access to certain functions.
An overview about each adjustable permission can be seen in chapter
11.3.1
- Once all permissions are set accordingly, push „close“ button to return to
User management menu.
