Configuring User Access Permissions within LabVantage LIMS for a Biotechnology Organization
===============================================================================
In a collaborative effort to bolster security and operational efficiency, a leading biotech company has partnered with Clarkston Consulting to enhance the access management system within their LabVantage LIMS.
The project, known as the LabVantage LIMS User Access Configuration, focused on leveraging LabVantage's out-of-the-box features with minimal customization. The goal was to implement more specific Job Types with predefined system access, refining existing roles like Analyst, Lab Manager, and Administrator, and configuring new roles such as Viewer and Instrument Team.
To achieve this, Clarkston Consulting set up Role-based Access Control, which allows access to menus, tramlines, and tramstops within the LabVantage LIMS to be controlled based on user roles and job responsibilities. This approach ensures a high level of security and precision in managing access to various functionalities of the LIMS.
The project's development phase involved thorough testing of new role configurations, migrating them first from the development (DEV) environment to the quality assurance (QA) environment. During this process, necessary updates to access restrictions were made to ensure accuracy.
Following configuration, Clarkston provided detailed demos to LIMS users, explaining the new access controls and enabling the client’s team to test the configurations according to a predefined access matrix. This hands-on approach ensured a smooth transition and empowered the client’s team to manage their growing user base independently.
The project culminated in robust LIMS security, improved control over access and restrictions of LIMS functionalities, and the delivery of a comprehensive reference document. This document, provided by Clarkston, will assist with future access modifications as the user base grows, facilitating ongoing system maintenance.
The biotech company's products help ensure the accuracy of patient results reported by instruments, and their engagement with Clarkston Consulting to enhance the security of their LabVantage LIMS further underscores their commitment to delivering high-quality, secure solutions in the clinical laboratory sector. This collaborative effort has resulted in a scalable and well-documented access management system within LabVantage LIMS, enhancing security and operational efficiency for the biotech company.
