Authentication

The IRO utility uses five different levels of authentication by default. There are the Admins, or superusers, with access to every part of the utility; Faculty, who have access to Faculty pages and some Intern and Mentor information; Mentors, who have access to Mentor pages and some Intern and Faculty information; Interns, who have access to Intern information, and anonymous users, who only have access to the public aspects of the utility and website, such as the Application page.

Methods

The main way of restricting access of users to sensitive parts of the site is by seeing if the user’s profile is part of a valid group with access to the page. For example, to access to Intern Overview Page, the user must be logged in and their profile must be a member of the group Faculty or Mentor.

Changing Methods

To modify how IRO restricts access of specific pages to users, follow the following steps.
