Setting Up User Permissions in LabVantage LIMS for a Biotechnological Business
In a strategic move to bolster the security of their LabVantage Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), a leading biotech company partnered with Clarkston Consulting. The aim was to implement more specific Job Types with predefined system access, thereby improving access control for various LIMS functionalities.
Clarkston Consulting configured new Job Types and Roles such as Viewer, Instrument Team, and refined existing roles like Analyst, Lab Manager, and Administrator. These Job Types and Roles were aligned with a predefined access matrix provided by the client and implemented in the LabVantage development environment. This approach allowed for granular control of system access according to job functions, ensuring users only have the permissions necessary to perform their duties, enhancing security and operational control within the LabVantage system.
The partnership led to the implementation of additional Job Types with predefined system access in the LabVantage LIMS. Clarkston utilized LabVantage webpages to restrict access to menus, tramlines, and tramstops by the different Job Types, in alignment with the predefined access matrix provided by the client. This ensured that only authorised users could access certain processes, thereby improving the overall security of the system.
The client's team was enabled to test the configurations themselves to confirm everything functioned as intended. A comprehensive reference document was provided to assist with future modifications of user access as the user base expands. The partnership resulted in the migration of new role configurations from the DEV to the QA environment and updates to ensure accuracy in the QA environment.
The biotech company's products, which help ensure accurate reporting of patient results in instruments, are now more secure due to the enhanced LIMS security provided by the partnership. The collaboration between the client and Clarkston Consulting provided a structured role-based access framework within LabVantage LIMS to ensure security policies are enforced effectively while supporting operational needs.
To conclude, this project marks a significant step forward in enhancing the security of LabVantage LIMS for the biotech industry. The partnership between Clarkston Consulting and the industry-leading biotech company specialized in laboratory product development has resulted in a more secure and controlled LabVantage LIMS environment, ultimately benefiting the accuracy and reliability of patient results in instruments.
- The biotech company also considered enhancing the security of their financial transactions, partnering with a renowned consulting firm specializing in finance to analyze and improve their business processes.
- The biotech company further explored the integration of modern technology in their manufacturing sector, partnering with another consulting firm to develop and implement a clinical trials module within their LabVantage LIMS for improved data management.
- To further strengthen their business operations, the biotech company collaborated with a consulting firm focusing on technology and business strategy to optimize their existing LIMS for better performance and scalability, ensuring continued growth and success in the competitive market.
