aguest Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'd like some thughts on this please. I'm using the seperation model and have a data file and currently one interface file. However, I know I'm going to create other interface files for other systems but keeping the data in the same data file so it can be accessed all together. My question is - Where is the best place to put the administrator layouts (to grant user access etc) Should I create a seperate interface file just for this that gives the administrator the ability to provide access to all systems in one place or implement this in each of the interface files I create? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris M Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 If you design a security interface into each interface file then a change to the security system would require duplicating changes to n-interface files. sounds like alot of work to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguest Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Thanks, I hadn't thought of that aspect of it. A single security interface it will be then. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 In fact, with Separation Model, you should check out External Authentication. Multi-file accounts/pwds are very difficult to keep in sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguest Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks for the different responses. I think I may not have been clear in my question. I have laready got external authentication setup for those users accessing the server / databases to ensure correct access. What I'm now thinking of is an admin / superuser functionality whereby I would have one data file that would hold teacher/staff information, student information etc. This data itself needs to be managed, ie when students start / leave the school. I will potentialy have a number of interface files accessing different aspects of this data, for example, Obs accessing staff, Assessment accessing Student etc What I'd like to understand is would I be best creating an admin interface which allows a superuser access to create staff / students or putting this functionality in each of the interface files (possibly duplicating the work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
