instutional privileges. This primarily effects reporting and admin. In the case of reports, membership in an
institution constrains the reporting. When setting up a report, users may only choose from institutions of
which they are members. Some reports may auto-detect the user's membership.
Institutional Admins have the ability: view membership lists of their institution(s), and to add or remove
their instutional role for users. It is possible for an institutional admin to be a member of more than one
institution.
Roles which require one or more instutitutional roles (affiliation):
- Block upload
- Name authority
- Institutional admin
Roles which may have zero or more institutional roles:
- Web admin
- Vetting
- Moderator
- Maintenance (likely to have one or more)
- Researcher
There are several dashboard sections:
- Standard researcher history
- Standard user account management (password, email, etc.)
- Web admin account creation, deletion, role assignments
