Introduction

In Administrator Interface, administrators can perform four maintenance functions include BankIn

registration, Generate RV, User Account Maintenance, CU Account Maintenance, Report

generation and Update department settings.

Administrator(s) designated by department heads/budget holders are authorized to maintain their user

list and assign different system roles and rights of viewing pages to their authorized staff. Administrators

are freely to manage their account codes and collect payments with their sales items.

Therefore, in Administrator Interface, administrators are focus on IRIS sales transaction bank-in

registration, generate Bank-in Summary and statistics reports, department setting and records

maintenance.

There are two interfaces with IRIS to perform different functions:

Interface for making sales transactions and related activities will go to:

https://iris.bur.cuhk.edu.hk/pos/

Interface for performing administrative tasks and related activities will go to:

https://iris.bur.cuhk.edu.hk/iris/

System Roles of IRIS System

IRIS has two system roles User, and Administrator. User and Administrator can access one or more

than one department. Administrator is able to assign access rights for particular functions to a user role

of the Department.

Each Department must have at least one Administrator. If a department contains several sections or

divisions and wants to separately manage their groups of accounts, the department is required to submit

applications to create account for department’s section or division. Administrator can also apply for

managing more than one section/division. For details, please contact Finance Office for help

IRIS Admin Interface has six main pages including Welcome Page and Contact Us pages, BankIn, RV,

Report and Admin, for user to access. The rights of viewing these pages are assigned by the

Administrator. That means a User role user can view one or more of the pages in the IRIS Admin

interface, if he/she has been assigned the access rights.

IRIS is developed an Audit Trail system to log down all transaction operations starting from login user

account, making sales transaction, printing receipt, updating transactions to finally the document

generation. Transactions can be traceable in case of dispute.
