Application Administration

This section explains how to set up the application.

First login of the administrator

During the installation, a single admin user is created with the credentials defined in the .env file. Upon their first login onto the application, they will have to change their password and accept the Terms and Conditions.

Creating new users

Anyone with the Admin or User Manager role can create new application users from the users page. Each user has their email as a unique identifier and is assigned at least one role among:

• Data Preparator: users who are authorized to see some sensitive data and will manage the data access, also known as Data Owner

• Data Practitioner: Analysts, Data Scientists..

• User Manager

• Admin: users who have full rights

All roles come with a set of permissions.

First time login of new users

If you don’t have a Sarus account yet (and you’re not a Sarus app Admin), create one using one of the following methods:

• Using the invitation link shared by an admin: Visit the link; you’ll see a prefilled single-use token. Just enter your information and validate sign-up. It will create your account and let you in.

• Using a token: If you were given a Sarus token to create your account, click “Sign up”, enter your information and the single-use token that you received. It will create your account and let you in.

• If you don’t have any, ask the admin.

Manage groups

A group is a collection of users. Groups are useful to manage dataset access for multiple users: * It simplifies managing who can access a specific dataset * It enables privacy accounting for multiple users for privacy policies that have per-group differentially-private access.

New groups can be created on the Groups page by users that have the admin role.
