User Management Module in Mifos
The User Management module in Mifos allows administrators to manage system access, ensuring that each person has the appropriate permissions according to their role and responsibilities within the organization. This module is essential for platform security, traceability, and proper system operation.
1. User Management
Through this module, it is possible to manage the complete lifecycle of system users:
- Create users
- Edit existing users
- Delete users
- Activate or deactivate users
- Search users
- Filter users based on different criteria
These functionalities facilitate effective control and maintenance of the user base.
2. User Information
Each user in Mifos has a set of basic and access-related data that must be registered:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Username: used for system login
- Password
- Assigned office
- Assigned employee: the user must be linked to an employee in the system
Important note: An employee can exist without having a user account (no system access), but every user must be mandatorily linked to an employee.
3. Roles and Permissions
Access to system functionalities is controlled through roles:
- Assign one or multiple roles to a user
- View assigned roles
- Automatic application of permissions inherited from roles
This allows for flexible and secure management of privileges within Mifos.
4. User Listing View
The system provides a centralized view to review registered users:
- List of all system users
- Display of key information:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Office
- Pagination support
- Configurable number of items per page
This view enables efficient user administration and quick searches.
5. Security
The module includes specific features to strengthen account security:
- Change password
- Force password change on next login
- Lock users
- Access history logging
These options help protect the system against unauthorized access.
6. Audit
To ensure traceability and control, Mifos allows auditing of user activity:
- View the last time the user accessed the system
- History of actions performed by the user
- Record of changes made by the user
Auditing is essential to comply with internal control best practices and security regulations.
