Information system eTran Manager is modern software product intended for multiuser, multitask work in network environment.
The information is structured in database managed by MS SQL Server RDBMS.
The RDBMS is running on MS Windows platform. Predefined roles, permissions, groups and users are used to control the user access to information resources. Usually users access the information through an internal local network; it is also possible to use remote secured access through VPN over the Internet.
Information System eTran Manager consists of the following major components:
• ‘Expert’ workplace – accesses the full functionality of the system except of the system maintenance and access control.
• ‘Manager’ workplace – ensures full access to the report activity.
• ‘System administrator’ – accesses the functionality for the system maintenance and access control.
• Database running under MS SQL Server RDBMS.
This distribution of distinct workplaces reflects the functions, nature and features of the activities, specific to every type of workplace. This distinction also reflects the separate roles, used by the system users and their user access permissions and activities. Separation of Roles and Access permissions is modern approach in building information systems, allowing precise definition, protection and control of the access to the system resources.
The system administrator can flexibly define the expert access to given functionality by creating subgroups with restricted rights.
A different level of access for the distinct groups of users are defined, which enforces restrictions for information access, execution of different types of activities, according to user authority and competency.
