4. Data Ownership Data ownership provides authority to various I-Suite users which allows them to change and manage specific data elements. This authority is established as a safeguard to ensure data integrity for all I-Suite users. Standard Operating Procedures imply that users in each section of I-Suite communicate effectively with other users, which helps to identify those individuals who have 'authority’ for certain data elements (e.g. Resources typically has authority to change the resource status; a Time Recorder typically has authority to change or update a pay rate or an accounting code). 8.0-04-ISUITE-EP
