Enterprise Identity, Access Control, and Auditability

User Management Module

The User Management Module provides a secure foundation for the entire research operations platform, handling authentication, user provisioning, role-based access control, and audit logging.

Designed for regulated environments, the module ensures that the right users have the right access at the right time with full traceability.

Why User Management Matters

In complex research organizations, access control is not just an IT concern. It is a governance and compliance requirement.

Common challenges include:

  • Inconsistent access rights across systems
  • Manual onboarding and offboarding processes
  • Limited visibility into who can access what, and why
  • Difficulty producing audit evidence during reviews

The User Management Module addresses these challenges by centralising identity, permissions, and accountability in a single, controlled system.

Enterprise Authentication with Azure Entra

User authentication is implemented using Azure Entra (Azure AD) with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Key capabilities include:

  • Single sign-on using organisation-managed identities
  • Enforcement of MFA and conditional access policies
  • Alignment with existing Active Directory security groups
  • No separate passwords or credentials to manage

This ensures security policies are enforced consistently while minimising friction for end users.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Access to the platform is governed through role-based access control, defined at both system and module levels.

The module supports:

  • Assignment of roles based on Azure Entra security groups
  • Fine-grained permissions by module and function
  • Separation of duties between administrators, reviewers, and staff
  • Protection against unauthorised privilege escalation

Roles can be extended as new modules are introduced, without redesigning the access model.

Centralised User Administration

Authorised administrators can manage users through a dedicated interface, without requiring direct database or infrastructure access.

Administrative functions include:

  • Viewing and searching user profiles
  • Activating or deactivating user access
  • Assigning and updating module-specific roles
  • Ensuring users only access approved functions

All changes are validated against access rules and recorded in the audit trail.

Comprehensive Audit Logging

Every critical user action is automatically captured in tamper-resistant audit logs.

Audit records include:

  • User identity and login details
  • Action performed and affected module
  • Timestamp and originating IP address
  • Security identifiers for traceability

This provides a clear, defensible audit trail to support internal reviews, external audits, and compliance reporting.

Integrate seamlessly, scale independently, and evolve without disruption.

Designed for Modular Platforms

The User Management Module is designed to support multi-module systems, not just a single application. As new modules are added:

Reuse of Existing Authentication and Access Controls

The solution uses the current authentication and access control framework, ensuring secure and consistent user access without duplicating systems.

Extensible Roles Without Disrupting Existing Permissions

Roles can be expanded or modified without affecting existing permissions, allowing the access model to evolve safely as needs change.

Consistent Audit Logging Across the Platform

All actions continue to be recorded through the existing audit logging system, ensuring traceability and compliance across the platform.

This ensures long-term scalability and avoids fragmented security implementations.

Who This Module Is For

The User Management Module is particularly well-suited for organisations that:

  • Operate in regulated or audit-sensitive environments
  • Require strict control over system access
  • Need visibility and accountability across multiple teams
  • Are building or modernising modular enterprise platforms
