I haven't seen this requirement yet, but in Rwanda we are using DHIS-2 as the national data warehouse and dashboard. I would like to see an option for public users to be able to sign on and create their own username and passwords. This would entitle them only to access the dashboard and GIS modules. It should also enable users to reset their passwords if they are forgotten - by sending an email to their registered email address with a system generated token/key that they plug into the reset password screen.
Once this dashboard is enabled for all Ministry users this feature will save a lot of effort setting up and resetting passwords by admin staff. Joomla! Does this nicely.

I guess my question is more about whether there is a separate "GRANT" setting which can be assigned to users to give them this privilege? Sent from my HTC ----- Reply message ----- From: "Lars Helge Øverland" <larshe...@gmail.com> Date: Sat, Jun 11, 2011 10:24 Subject: [Dhis2-devs] Decentralization of user management To: <dhis2-us...@lists.launchpad.net>, "DHIS 2 developers" <dhis2-devs@lists.launchpad.net> Hi, one learning from Kenya is that "local concerns" such as assignment of services (datasets) and classification (group assignment) of facilities should be decentralized to district managers as they can perform this task more efficiently and with a better understanding of their local area. We now increasingly see that facility users start entering data online themselves and decentralizing management of facility user accounts would be a good idea. This comes with a few challenges however as we want to provide them the ability only to create users with "less" authority than what they have themselves. We have now implemented a solution for this in trunk which implies that a user can issue a user role to a new user if: - The current user has the ALL authority OR the issued user role authority group is a subset of the aggregated authorities of the current user (i.e. the current user has all of the authorities he wants to issue to another user.) - The issued user role is NOT among the current user's user roles (i.e. the current user can not issue his own user roles to another user.) The latter rule is there e.g. because we don't want districts users to create new district users, rather to create facility users only. This solution means that it is now sensible to allow district and province users access to the user module. Just to keep you informed...
