Implementation of Executive Information System on Client/Server Architecture Controlled by Role Based Access Control Mechanisms

Abstract

The Organisations are implementing Executive Information Systems (EISs) to handle increasing amounts of money which are being invested. Because they need to use an effective EIS in order to achieve competitive advantage in markets. And EISs improve the quality of management in organization by providing visual reports. However, EISs development projects incur risks. As a consequence, the eventual success of this kind of systems is affected by various factors especially during the use of the system. Therefore the proposed system is to develop an EIS on client/server architecture. Furthermore to overcome the problems faced during the use of the system due to the security risks, Role Based Access Control (RBAC) mechanism is used to regulate the access right of the authorized users. That means users with different roles can access to the system with different permissions. This system will implement an EIS for dental clinic on client/server system controlled by RBAC using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 DBMS.
