Abstract:
The MIS data is critical to an organization and should be
protected from misuse by wrong persons. Although The MIS data is typically
meant for the senior managers each MIS report may not be required by every
manager. The access to MIS data is determined by the role of an individual in
the organization and controlled by the MIS administrator accordingly. The
access is generally determined by the following parameters, (a) the type of
user (such as staff or manager etc.), (b) the type of data (whether general
data or managerial data), (c) level of access (read/ write/ admin access) and
(d) special access allocated by MIS admin. By combining all the above four
parameters, each individual user can be allocated exact specific rights
required to access the MIS.
