Permission management
All administrative accesses to CallWeb are controlled by a set of permissions that are based on modules and projects. Access to questionnaires by respondents and access to CATI interviewer modules are NOT subject to this permission scheme.
If no permissions are defined (such as upon initial use of the system), the site manager must access the cwperm.cgi module in the utility directory and define a super-user (see definition below). This super-user can then define additional users according to site needs.
Key concepts
There are two kinds of users: super-users and regular users. Super-users have access to anything and are the only ones who can use cwperm.cgi to create users and set permissions. Regular users can only perform the tasks that they are allowed according to the permissions set for them by the super-user.
There are six types of permissions, as follows:
Users are temporarily locked out of the system if they accumulate three incorrect accesses within a two minute period.
Permission management functions
Once a super-user accesses cwperm.cgi (either directly or via the integrated module), they get a menu similar to the one depicted here. The following functions are available to them:
