Responsibility Boundary (In-App vs External)

Responsibility Boundary (In-App vs External)

mDIS has built-in RBAC roles (User, Developer, Administrator) that control access inside the web app. External roles handle infrastructure and CI/CD outside the app.

In-app roles:

  • User/Editor: data entry, reports, value lists.
  • Developer: form/model customization, pseudo-fields, template manager.
  • Administrator: permissions, user management, read-only controls.

External roles:

  • Sysadmin: host OS, Docker/VMs, networking, backups, MySQL, email.
  • CI/CD: GitLab runners, pipeline variables, build artifacts, image registry.
