Roles and Role Filtering

[Contents] [User Credentials]

ICONviews sets access control filters based on the user's role (determined by login credentials) to specify the set of actions and the scope of the data that the user is allowed to modify and/or view.

As a general rule, organisations are only allowed to see their own data, since information is structured on a need-to-know basis, and where appropriate, according to the broad hierarchy of an organisation. In the case of third party organisations, such as referrers and estate agents, only data that is directly related at a case level will be available. This association is maintained automatically, based on case data. So for example, if a new case is opened in Icon, due to a referral from a work provider, then this case will be visible to the work provider when they log into the portal (assuming they have been granted access rights).

The following mapping rules are used when roles are used to access case data. Note that the levels of hierarchy in this mapping act as additional filters on the scope of case data visible to the user.

Customers/Firms

  • Level-1: Customer & Customer Admin - view/edit any cases created by this organisation, from any site.
  • Level-2: Fee earner supervisor - view/edit any of the cases either created by the Supervisor; or cases created by Fee Earners that reference this supervisor in their case details.
  • Level-3: Fee Earner - view/edit any of the cases created by this particular Fee Earner.

Referrers/Panel Organisations

  • Level-1: Referrer Manager - view all related cases handled by the Referrer across all divisions of the referrer organisation (i.e. all cases where this referrer is specifically noted in the case data).
  • Level-2: Referrer - view all related cases handled by the Referrer at a divisional level of the referrer organisation (i.e. all cases where this referrer is specifically noted in the case data, filtered by division).

Estate Agents

  • Level-1: Estate Agent Manager - view all related cases handled by the Estate Agent across all branches of the estate agent organisation. (i.e. all cases where this estate agent is specifically noted in the case data).
  • Level-2: Estate Agent - view all related cases handled by the Estate Agent at the branch level.

Clients

  • Client - view all of the cases where the client is one of the four possible clients referenced in Case data.
