Setting Up a User Group
User Groups setup (DHIS2 sharing)
User Groups in H2 are used to define the users that will be able to perform maintenance to the different H2 Programs (referred to as Admins) and the users that will be able to interact with said Programs (referred to simply as Users).
By default, the HNQIS2 Metadata Package includes two User Groups that can be used as templates for other groups: HNQIS2 - Admins and HNQIS2- Users.
Please Note
If you’re using the PCA, the HNQIS2 Metadata Package (that also includes the base User Groups) can be installed/updated easily.
It is recommended to that a pair of Groups for Admins and Users is created for each use case. For instance, it is a common practice to separate Checklists by country, meaning that a group of three countries: Kenya, Zimbabwe and Angola; should have the following sets of User Groups:
Kenya (KE) | Zimbabwe (ZW) | Angola (AO) |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
If your server includes a multi-country setup, it is a good practice to include the ISO code of the country as a prefix for each User Group.
After the User Groups are created, the Sharing Settings of the H2 Programs should include a configuration as follows:
User Group | Metadata Settings | Data Capture Settings |
|---|---|---|
Admins | Can Edit and View | Can Capture and View |
Users | Can View only | Can Capture and View |
