Configured Role-Based Permissions

Manage the permissions of the System Administrator, Facility Administrator, Researcher, and Collaborator user roles to restrict or allow the following actions:

Sign in to Clarity LIMS.
Sign in to the API.
View and interact with certain features of the interface.
Perform certain actions in the interface.
View and restrict any actions in the interface. [Clarity LIMS v6.1 and above]

Command-line Permissions Tool

Role-based permissions are controlled through the permissions-tool.jar tool, at /opt/gls/clarity/tools/permissions/.

For assistance with running the command-line permissions tool, contact the Illumina Support team.

Functionality includes the following commands:

#listroles—List all roles in the system.
#describerole—List names and descriptions of all permissions in the system.
#createrole—Create a role.
#showsummary—List permissions assigned to each role in the system.
#listpermissions—List permissions assigned to a specific role.
#assignpermission—Assign a permission to a role.
#removepermission—Remove a permission from a role.

NOTE: The permissions-tool.jar tool function names and property names are case-sensitive. If you type the incorrect case, your command or property cannot be understood.

There can be a delay (up to 20 minutes) before changes to some API-related permissions take effect.

Supported Permissions

The sections below list LIMS permissions and actions, and the user roles to which each permission/action is assigned by default.

By default, System Administrators and Facility Administrators have all permissions listed.

Permission: AdministerLabLink

The default role with AdministerLabLink permission is Administrator. This permission is added to the existing System Administrator & Facility Administrator roles.

The Collaborator role is based on the existing Collaborator role in LabLink v1.0.

Note: The existing Researcher role does not have the new permission and behaves similarly to the LabLink Collaborator role.

Permission: ClarityLogin

Default roles with this permission: Administrator, Researcher

Permission: APILogin

Permission: Project

Permission: Sample

The Sample:update permission is automatically granted to roles that have the Sample:create permission at the time of migration to Clarity LIMS v5.x. If you have removed create permissions from any default role, the role does not acquire the update permission.

Permission: Controls

Default roles with these permissions: Administrator

Users with ClarityLogin permission can access the Consumables > Controls tab and view control sample details (read only).

Permission: ReagentKit

Default roles with these permissions: Administrator

Users with ClarityLogin permission can access the Consumables > Reagents tab. They can also view, edit, and delete reagent lots, and add lots to existing kits. No additional ReagentKit permissions are required.

APILogin permission is required for role management. All users with ClarityLogin permissions can view and edit their own user details (except for assigning/removing roles).

Permission: Read-Only [Clarity LIMS v6.1 and above]

At least one System Administrator must be available to reconfigure user roles. Therefore, we recommend that you do not assign the Read-Only permission to the default Administrator and API users.

Permission: User

Permission: Contact

Default roles with these permissions: Administrator

In the LIMS user interface, the term 'contact' has been replaced with 'client.' However, the API still uses the permission Contact.

Steps that were executed using the Process API cannot be edited.
