Setting up User Roles

Implementation - Implémentation
1

This applies to any (recent) version of DHIS… (We’re using 2.39.3.1)

Does anyone have any advice how best to set up user roles? We have the following need:

  • Group of users has moderate administrative rights (not Superuser level)
  • This group should have the ability to view the users in their OU region and be able to edit user profiles and add/invite new users to their OU region

We have users logging in that cannot see all users in their region. This may have something to do who entered these users to begin with (users added to DHIS by user “admin” can be seen but users added to DHIS by user “X” with Superuser rights cannot be seen). I know users can’t see users with greater access than themselves but cannot determine how best to configure the various roles. I’m trying to find documentation that defines this. TIA.

Hi @LauraLincks, I think the best way to manage this is using the Managed User Groups authorities while setting up user roles.

This section of the DHIS2 documentation can guide you how to set up such user roles. We have used such strategies before and they work as advertised. But you may need to review your current users with this in mind.
