Creating and managing users, designations, roles and permissions, and how users are assigned to facilities.

These guides step system administrators through setting up who can use a Tamanu deployment and what each person can do. Access is role based: every user has one role, and a role's permissions decide what its users can see and do.

  • 2.1 Reference data

    Users, designations and roles

  • 2.2 Settings

    Which permissions apply, facility access and sync restriction

  • 2.3 Permissions

    How permissions work, the permissions matrix, and what every permission in Tamanu grants

Location assignment, which sits under Users in the admin panel, is covered in the Scheduling configuration guides.
