ARETGroup

Introduction

Role-Based Access and User Privileges help ensure that system users have access to the information and system functions they need—while protecting sensitive data from unnecessary access.

Horizon allows organizations to assign access based on each user’s role, responsibilities, program, or workflow. Permissions can control who can view, enter, edit, manage, export, or administer information. Secure role-based access and system controls help maintain appropriate separation of responsibilities while supporting secure collaboration. When properly configured, role-based access helps organizations strengthen data privacy, security, accountability, and compliance while making it easier for teams to work together. 

As shown in the table below, ARETGroup Horizon offers various roles and privileges. Assigned system Managing Administrators control privileges for each site.

Add or Edit Users

Managing Administrators for each site can add users, edit their privileges, and access data downloads. Individual users are able to reset their own passwords. All of the information found here can be accessed through the ARETGroup Horizon Online Manual and Support Tools found in System Settings.
