1. Requirement

1.1 Goals/Scope

The scope of this RFC is to allow specific users to access all openIMIS functionalities without having to attach them to user roles and locations.

1.2 Background

The Admin user is the default user available when installing openIMIS. This is an interactive user having access to all locations and roles (authorities). The relation between the Admin user and locations and roles are saved in the database. Anytime new features are developed, adding new authorities, those authorities need to be added thought migration to existing system user roles attached to the Admin user. This is also the case for the new locations registered in the system. Moreover, if anyone wants more than one Admin user in the system (for audit reasons), all roles and locations attachment will be difficult to manage.
