Roles and permissions in KI RIMS

All employees and affiliates with an active KI account can log in to KI RIMS. What you can do there and what information is displayed depends on your role in the system.

No one but yourself is authorised to edit your information in KI RIMS without your permission. However, in KI RIMS, there is a possibility to delegate rights to other people so that they can edit your information via their own login through a function called Impersonate

Remember that you are always responsible for ensuring that the information in your account is accurate and up-to-date, even if you have delegated editing rights to someone else.
