Functional Hierarchy
 
To be able to run a FCS-platform, people with three different levels of privileges are needed. In order to better understand and operate these FCS functions, we would like to begin by giving you a short explanation:

There are 3 levels of privileges in the functional hierarchy:
  1. System administrator ("s-admin")

  2. Platform administrator ("p-admin")

  3. Users

In order to better understand the connection between these three levels, we want to explain it with the analogy of the construction and use of a house:

  • The purchaser (designer) announces how the house (in our case, the platform) should appear.

  • The system administrator (builder) transfers a ready-made, turnkey house (platform) to one or more platform administrators (new owners).

  • The platform administrator sets the house rules, divides the users into groups, sets the password for each user, and can also structure the arrangement of the house, (the platform arrangement).

  • A few users only visit the house, while others inhabit it. Inhabitants have different keys with which they have access to different rooms. In these rooms they help then with its arrangement, expand or change it, etc. Entry doors for which they possess no key, are not even visible to them.
