Role and Right definitions

The following paragraphs describe the roles and rights as defined for the genome annotation system !GenDB-2.0 which extensively uses different roles for a sophisticated access control.

ROLES defined for GenDB-2.0 
PROJECT_CLASS GENDB
  • user with read only permissions and almost completely restricted access
  • Roles with the tag ext can be assigned to members via the external
  • GPMS web frontend. !Roles without this tag are not listed in the ext.
  • web frontend.

ROLE Guest ext

        RIGHT basic_access 
  • user who is allowed to write annotations and recompute the observations
  • for a single region

ROLE Annotator ext

RIGHT basic_access

        RIGHT annotate
        RIGHT export_region_data
        RIGHT recompute
  • (external) user who is allowed do most of the necessary tasks to maintain a project
  • (e.g. import/export/edit/delete sequence, add tools and submit all jobs)
  • this role should be used if several persons have to edit the sequence e.g. to correct frameshifts

ROLE Maintainer

        RIGHT basic_access
        RIGHT recompute
        RIGHT submit_jobs
        RIGHT contig_import_export              
        RIGHT edit_sequence
        RIGHT add_tools
        RIGHT export_region_data
        RIGHT delete_contig
        RIGHT annotate
        RIGHT region_prediction
  • user who is responsible for the database and for the solution of bugs and problems
  • can do almost everything and also MODIFY THE DATABASE (e.g. alter table)

ROLE Developer

        RIGHT contig_import_export
        RIGHT region_prediction
        RIGHT submit_jobs
        RIGHT recompute frame-shift correction and contig update
        RIGHT edit_sequence 
        RIGHT add_tools
        RIGHT export_region_data
        RIGHT delete_contig
        RIGHT configure_project
        RIGHT basic_access
        RIGHT annotate
        RIGHT modify_db
  • user who is responsible for the project (in the majority of cases this is one of the
  • GenDB developers in Bielefeld), can do everything (e.g. configure project) except
  • modifying the database
  • has to add Maintainers, Annotators and Guests but cannot add Developers
ROLE Chief
        RIGHT annotate
        RIGHT add_user
        RIGHT contig_import_export
        RIGHT region_prediction
        RIGHT submit_jobs
        RIGHT recompute frame-shift correction and contig update

        RIGHT add_tools
        RIGHT export_region_data
        RIGHT delete_contig
        RIGHT configure_project
        RIGHT basic_access
