Data Access and User Management

Enhancing KomMonitor to enable a self-sovereign usage by multiple tenants

Districts and their cities have special requirements for a shared use of a single KomMonitor instance. In particular, the desire for municipal autonomy in the management of data resources, users, roles and access rights requires the expansion of the existing rights management in KomMonitor. Therefore, several districts, i.e. Kreis Mettmann, Kreis Viersen, Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis, Kreis Recklinghausen and StädteRegion Aachen joined forces to identify common requirements for multitenancy in KomMonitor.

On behalf of the project consortium, 52°North restructures the concept of data access and user management and extends the basic data model regarding the organization of indicators and spatial units in KomMonitor to enable a multitenant usage of KomMonitor. Specifically, 52°North is working on the features listed below:

  • Extending fine-grained admin permissions for managing resources, topics and users
  • Introducing ownership for data resources
  • Enabling the creation of areas of responsibility to support self-sovereign municipal administration of KomMonitor
  • Intensifying the user group concept for data access
  • Enabling the creation of multiple parallel spatial unit hierarchies and tenant-related indicators

52°North’s current developments are building blocks for supporting multitenancy in KomMonitor. Several other aspects, such as a simplified batch update for data access and the definition of a tenant-specific KomMonitor Web Client look and feel, will be addressed in the future.
