Permissions and roles ensure secure access to your data and enable you to assign responsibility for tasks, projects, surveys, and contracts. Assigning responsibility to users enables Iasta SmartSource to present users with lists and information targeted at their individual responsibilities.

Addressing the Dual Needs of Collaboration and Security

Collaboration is a guiding principal in the design and implementation of Iasta SmartSource. Enabling collaboration between project teams composed of multiple users from multiple supplier and customer companies is one of the ways that Iasta SmartSource saves companies time and money by delivering better, faster results.

Security is the most frequently cited roadblock to collaboration. Collaboration and security can appear to be at odds with one another because collaboration requires extending access to all the participants in a process and security requires restricting access to people and information. Iasta overcame the security obstacle by incorporating a structured permissions and roles hierarchy that provides strong controls with many options for dictating what individual users can see and do.
