Super Admin | LiteFarm staff | As the maintainers of the LiteFarm project, we need to have access to all farms in the system in order to support users. It also makes sense to have a few limited aggregate views to understand how users are interacting with the system. | |
Technicians AKA Verification Officer “VO” | Farms that are part of a certifying board the makes visits | Technicians do not work for the farm, but rather for the organic farm association. They visit many different farms in order to record practices, help the farmers, and make sure they are complying with regulations. They will need read-only access to most data points (excluding potentially aggregate financials) at many farms. | |
Researcher | May or may not be handled as a role (could also be an export + ETL process). Researchers are interested in aggregate (and potentially anonymized) datasets generated in LiteFarm. |
