Maintaining Staff Groups

Overview

Staff groups are used where an action requires that more than one staff code be used, like where quality control needs to be checked on QC samples analysed by a group of staff, or identifying a method used by certain staff groups.

This process is pertinent to LIMS configuration personnel and laboratory managers who configure user accounts for CCLAS, and assign staff members to staff groups, thereby assigning privileges of the staff group to the staff members.

Process

Staff groups for CCLASMGR and general users are maintained under the Staff groups node of the Staff application.

The AccessLevel STAFFAPP program setting controls user access to the Staff application, and the AccessLevel GROUPING program setting controls user access to the Staff groups node.

Staff groups are maintained using simple SCRUD (search, create, review, update, delete) functionality. Extra staff details are entered using the GroupingUser.SCR script. This option is not available if this file does not exist in the folder defined by the ConfigDirectory GLOBAL setting.

The GroupingScreenn STAFF program settings define the custom forms that are launched from the Run main menu option, which is only available where the user has access to the Staff groups node.
