1.2.3 Admin vs User Areas — Scope, Access, and Responsibilities
Praisma Hub clearly separates administrative areas from user-facing areas. This separation is essential for security, usability, and compliance, especially in public-sector and enterprise environments.
Separation of Concerns
The platform distinguishes between:
Administrative areas, used for configuration, governance, and oversight
User areas, used for daily operational work such as content creation and communication
This separation ensures that sensitive configuration and system-level controls are not exposed to regular users.
Administrative Areas
Administrative areas are accessible only to users with elevated permissions.
Typical responsibilities include:
Tenant and organization configuration
User, role, and permission management
Domain and integration settings
Workflow and approval configuration
Quota, usage, and subscription management
Audit logs and system monitoring
Administrative users operate with a high level of responsibility and accountability.
User Areas
User areas are designed for day-to-day operational tasks, such as:
Creating and editing CMS content
Managing media assets
Responding to inbox messages or surveys
Viewing analytics relevant to their role
Participating in workflows and approvals
User interfaces are intentionally focused and simplified to reduce error risk and improve productivity.
Access Enforcement
Access to admin or user areas is enforced through:
Role-based access control (RBAC)
Permission checks at route, service, and UI level
Tenant and organization context validation
Users only see what they are authorized to access, both functionally and visually.
Security and Compliance Implications
The strict separation between admin and user areas supports:
Reduced attack surface
Clear accountability and audit trails
Compliance with BIO, ENSIA, and internal security policies
Safer delegation of responsibilities
Summary
By separating administrative and user areas, Praisma Hub ensures that governance, security, and daily operations can coexist without conflict. This model supports scalable collaboration while maintaining control and compliance.
