DEFINITIONS:
Authorities refer to access privileges
User Groups refers to groups of a user such as End Users and Administrators
User refers to the End Users in most cases the Quality Supervisor or Supervisor
Roles refer to access privileges such as access to DHIS2 applications, adding, editing and deleting objects.
Object refers to programs, data elements, option sets and other configurable elements within DHIS2
DHIS2 provides a powerful user management system that facilities both User and User Groups.
User Groups are a collection of individual Users that provides access to a predefined range of applications and features of DHIS2 to all Users within the User Group, while User applies to a specific individual/person.
In the following documentation, we provide more details on both types.
In order to keep DHIS2 as clean and organised as possible, User Groups and Roles should be defined to limit access to the features available in DHIS2.
