Fine Access Control (FAC)

The Fine Access Control (FAC) feature has been designed to allow RSR administrators to limit access to a project to only the implementing project team. By activating this feature an administrator helps ensure only those users who should have access to a project do. This can be helpful for large organisations who have many RSR users and many projects as not all users work on all projects for an organisation, i.e. users have particular project portfolio.

Similarly, programmes with many partners (e.g. large programmes) can mean that there are many RSR users, from different organisations, that can have access to a project(s) in which they are actually not directly involved. By using FAC an administrator of a large, multi-project, multi-partner programme can ensure that only those users that should have to a project, do.

Step 1: User Access for a project is done via section 3 of the Editor

Step 2: From section 3, scroll down to go to User Access section and click ‘Restricted Access’

Step 3: Once you activated the feature, add users that should have access to the project by clicking ‘Add user’

Step 4: You can search for registered users for your organisation and also users for the project’s partners.

Step 5: Users added to a project retain the role assigned to them by their RSR administrator when they’ve first registered with RSR. However, a user's role can be changed for particular projects. For example, a user can have a ‘default’ role of M&E Manager, but a for a particular project they could be assigned the role of ‘Enumerator’.

Step 6: Review and confirm the users granted access for your project directly from section 3

Step 7: You can also see which users have access to a project directly from the ‘My Projects’ page.
