User definitions will be more flexible than on the EMS system. Users would be defined by range of access by belonging to groups. Different types of user groups include general users, facilitators, regional schedulers, schedulers. Administrators would be defined on the basis of functionality. Rights can be given to hub without needing to dole out access to sites on an individual level.
Events have basic security of facilitation group.
Nora asked about the possibility of a scheduling package. It was decided that the first release of the system would be set up to allow open access, but with hooks into the system to ease the addition of a finer granularity of security. This would entail involved feasibility studies to ascertain what would work, how it would affect the system, and how much security will be necessary. It was decided that Hubs would be restricted to one routing device. There was also discussion of what an ATM Hub would look like.
