Database Settings

The Database Settings button in the Maintenance Wizard allows you to modify the way that access to eLab data is granted and recorded. By default eLab:

Allows administrators to control the ability of users and roles to insert, view, modify and delete data both at the table and row level.
Allows administrators to set user and role level permissions for new data
Archives calls made to the database as well as all the data that is viewed, modified or removed by users.
Hashes all the data that is inserted, modified, and removed.

Many of these features are in response to our strict interpretation of the FDA 21 CFR Part 11 guidelines. In some laboratories this level of compliance is not necessary, or some other process may be in place that duplicates the requirements. For these reasons, and/or to improve system performance you may want to remove some of these features.
