Permissions and Settings for Materials and Reagents

The permissions relating to Reagents and Materials are confined to the OU where they are applied. Physical reagents and materials can be located anywhere in the organisation but their records must be assigned an Organisational Unit (OU) as a base. This allows managing the permissions by department and very granular roles can be created to grant different permissions to different users for the different activities involved. For example, someone from the purchasing department can be granted permission to check in stock but not to check it out.

When the Batch/Stock feature is enabled, the role, ‘Stock Editor’ provides specific permissions for both reagents and materials stock management, as shown below.
