Managing User Roles and Permissions

The ‘Home’ Screen has three options which allow State Data Stewards the ability to view their permissions, manage permissions granted to the role of Local Data Steward and Data Viewer within their state, and identify individuals to serve as Local Data Stewards and Data Viewers.  State Data Stewards can also identify other users in their state as State Data Stewards.

The State Data Steward, Local Data Steward, and Data Viewer can view their permissions by clicking on ‘View Permissions’ button in the content area of the home screen.  Your name and the role you have within this application will be displayed as well as the state, county, and offices which will determine the practices and narratives you will be able to view or manage in the application.

The State Data Steward can tailor the functions to be performed by the Local Data Stewards and Data Viewers within their state.  

To edit or view the functions for the Local Data Stewards and Data Viewers:

  1. Select Manage Permissions from the home page.

  2. Select the role.

  3. Check the applicable permissions.
