About the chain-of-custody systems

GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software electronic data chain-of-

custody systems

The GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software contains three systems that assist with chain-of-custody of electronic

data. These systems can be custom-conﬁgured or turned o by the GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software

system administrator as needed:

•Security system—Controls user access to software functions and data, and allows custom

conﬁguration that meets the data-sharing needs of your laboratory. See Chapter2, “Manage the

Security system”.

•Audit Trail system—Tracks changes and provides audit history reports. See Chapter3, “Manage

the Audit Trail system”.

•E-Signature system—Requires user-authentication before changes are saved. See Chapter4,

“Manage the E-Signature system”.

Overview of the Security system

The GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software Security system allows you to control user behavior by specifying:

•What data a user can access, based on the user and security groups the user belongs to

•What functions a user can perform, based on the user proﬁle

A user with an Admin proﬁle sets up user accounts, proﬁles, user groups, and security groups using

wizards in the Access Control Administration window.

GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software v1.7 Administration Guide 7

Security system components

There are four components of the Security system, as deﬁned below.

Table1Components of the Security system

Component Description

User account All users sign in to the software with a user account created by the

GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software system administrator.

Proﬁle A proﬁle deﬁnes the set of software functions that a user is allowed to

perform. For example, proﬁles can allow or deny a user the right to view,

create, edit, and/or delete analysis methods, or to analyze data.

The system administrator conﬁgures proﬁles, or uses default proﬁles

provided with the software. When the system administrator creates a

user account, the administrator assigns a proﬁle to the user.

Users can have only one proﬁle.

User group User groups are associated with security groups, which control the data

a user can access. Users can access data assigned to a security group

only if their user group is associated with the security group.

The system administrator deﬁnes user groups or uses default user

groups provided with the software.

When a user account is created, the user must be assigned to at least

one user group, but the user can be assigned to several groups.

Security group Security groups determine the data that user groups can access. A user

group must be associated with at least one security group, but can be

associated with several.

A user can access only data (for example, analysis methods, panels, size

standards, matrices, or projects) that have been saved with a security

group that is associated with one of the user groups to which the user

belongs.

In summary:

•Each user has only one proﬁle.

•Each user belongs to one or more user groups and each user group is associated with one or more

security groups.

•Security groups associated with a user group and data determine the data a user can access.

Therefore:

•A user can access the data in a security group that is associated with any of the user groups to

which the user belongs.

•A user can perform any of the software functions permitted by the user’s proﬁle.

Chapter2Manage the Security system

Data access control

Security groups control access to any of the following items:

•Projects

•Plot settings

•Table settings

•Panels and binsets

•Report settings

•Size standards

•Analysis methods

•Matrix ﬁles

Items are associated with a security group when a user creates or edits, then saves the item. See

“Associating a security group with an item” on page10.

Chapter2Manage the Security system

Overview of the Security system 2

GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software v1.7 Administration Guide 9

Associating a security group with an item

Whenever users save an item, they must select a security group from a dropdown list in the Save or

Save As dialog box. Users can select the GeneMapper™ ID-X Security Group (available to everyone) or

any other security group that they are allowed to use.

For example, the ﬁgure below shows the dropdown list that appears when a user with access only to

the Practice, Casework, and GeneMapper™ ID-X Security Groups saves a new project.

Bypassing security group access control

If you do not want to control access to data in your laboratory, instruct all users to specify the

GeneMapper™ ID-X security group when creating projects and settings. All users have access to items

associated with the GeneMapper™ ID-X security group.

Start the Security Manager

1. Start the GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software, then sign in with an account that belongs to the

Administrators user group and has an Admin proﬁle (for example, gmidx).

2. In the main window, select Admin4Security Manager.

3. In the AdminToolAcc dialog box, re-enter the password for your account (step1), then click OK.

The Access Control Administration window opens.

operation.

Default user accounts, proﬁles, user groups, and security

groups

We provide default user accounts, proﬁles, user groups, and security groups so that you can use the

Security system with minimal setup. You can use the defaults without changes or as a starting point to

customize your own Security system.

Note: If your GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software system administrator has modiﬁed the default user

accounts, proﬁles, user groups, and/or security groups, the tables in this section may no longer be

accurate.

The discussion in this section covers the default proﬁles, user groups, and security groups provided

by the GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software. With these defaults, a system administrator can quickly create a

working Security system.

Chapter2Manage the Security system

Default user accounts, proﬁles, user groups, and security groups 2

GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software v1.7 Administration Guide 11

Duplicate defaults before modifying

Before modifying a default component of the Security system, duplicate it and save it under a new

name.

To duplicate any default component: Open the Security Manager, select the default, then select

Edit4Duplicate.

You will need to duplicate the default user accounts multiple times to provide each user with an account

that has a unique or laboratory-speciﬁc sign-in name.

Relationship between user accounts, proﬁles, and user groups

A user’s account determines what the user can do (proﬁle) and access (user groups). Proﬁles and user

groups must exist before you can create any accounts.

The GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software system administrator is responsible for maintaining proﬁles and user

groups. The administrator can:

•Use default proﬁles and user groups provided by the software.

•Create custom proﬁles and user groups.

•Use a combination of defaults and custom proﬁles, user groups, and security settings.

Default proﬁles

The proﬁle that is speciﬁed in a user account determines the software functions that a user can

perform. Four default proﬁles are provided.

Note: If your GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software system administrator has modiﬁed or customized the default

proﬁles, they may dier from the defaults described in Table2.

Default security groups

The security groups speciﬁed in a user account determine the:

•Speciﬁc data (for example, analysis methods, panels, size standards, matrices, and projects) that a

user can access.

•The read (view or select) or update (create, edit, delete, analyze) privileges allowed for the data.

The read/update privileges associated with a security group can clash with the actions permitted in user

proﬁles (proﬁles also deﬁne read/write privileges). For this reason, all of the default security groups have

both read and update privileges.

IMPORTANT! There are software functions (for example, changing table or plot settings) that are not

covered in proﬁles. You can use security group update privileges to control use of these functions.

Chapter2Manage the Security system

Default user accounts, proﬁles, user groups, and security groups 2

GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software v1.7 Administration Guide 13

The software contains three default security groups:

•GeneMapper™ ID-X (read and update)

•Casework (read and update)

•Databasing (read and update)

When users create or edit and then save an item, they select a security group from a dropdown list

in the Save dialog box. Users can select any of the three default security groups to which they have

access.

Security group deﬁnitions are just names. Their signiﬁcance depends entirely on the user groups they

are associated with. When a user saves an item and assigns it a security group, it means that:

•Any user in any user group that is associated with that security group can access the data.

•Users who are only in user groups that are not associated with the selected security group cannot

access the data.

Default user groups

Four default user groups are associated with the default security groups.

Note: If your GeneMapper™ ID‑X Software system administrator has modiﬁed or customized the default

user groups, they may dier from the defaults described in Table3.
