User Access Control
-
User Story
-
As an administrator, I want to control user access to data and dashboards so that I can ensure data security and compliance with our organization’s policies.
-
Description
-
The User Access Control requirement allows administrators to set permissions and roles for different users within the DataHarmony platform. This feature ensures that sensitive data is handled appropriately, as users can be granted or restricted access to specific dashboards, datasets, or functionalities. By implementing a robust access control mechanism, the platform enhances security and compliance with data governance policies. This capability not only protects critical information but also ensures that users can collaborate effectively, as they have access to the data they need to perform their roles efficiently without unnecessary barriers.
-
Acceptance Criteria
-
User Role Assignment for Access Control
Given an administrator is logged into the DataHarmony platform, When they navigate to the User Management section and select a user, Then they should be able to assign or modify the role (e.g., viewer, editor, admin) for that user successfully without errors, and the role should be reflected in the system immediately.
Permission Restrictions on Sensitive Dashboards
Given a user with restricted access attempts to view a sensitive dashboard, When they try to access that dashboard, Then they should receive an 'Access Denied' message and should not be allowed to view any data within that dashboard.
Audit Trail for Access Changes
Given an administrator modifies a user's access permissions, When the change is made, Then an entry should be created in the audit log that records the user’s previous permissions, the new permissions, the timestamp of the change, and the administrator's ID who made the change.
Role-based Access Control Testing
Given the role-based access control is implemented, When a user of a specific role logs in, Then they should only see the features and data they are authorized to access based on their assigned role, ensuring no unauthorized options are visible.
Collaborative Access for Teams
Given that team members are set up within the system, When an administrator enables collaborative access for a dataset, Then all designated team members should be able to access that dataset and any updates should be visible in real-time for all members within their assigned roles.
Customizable User Permission Settings
Given an administrator wants to customize user permissions, When they access the permissions setting interface, Then they should be able to select specific permissions for each role (such as view, edit, delete) and save those changes without errors, with the updates reflected immediately on the user’s access level.
User Feedback on Access Requests
Given a user requests access to a restricted dashboard, When the request is submitted, Then the user should receive a timely notification about the status of their request (approved or denied), along with any necessary instructions or explanations related to the request.
