Fasten is designd to work well for an individual or a family. Since it is self-hosted, by nature the person running the service will have full root access to all user records. For most families, this is perfect! If you need stronger security, Fasten might not be for you.
125
+
126
+
Fasten assumes that all records connected from a single user account (from one or more sources) belong to a single individual, and thus will show aggregations that will only make sense for a single person. Be careful to not connect sources for different people to the same Fasten user account.
127
+
128

Tracking health data for multiple family members works by creating new user accounts for each person. Any user with the `admin` role can manage users and permissions. Any user can be granted access (by an admin) to view another user's records. Through this mechanism, it's easy to setup any family configuration needed. For example: a family of four can have two parents that can each see the records of the two children.
129
+
130
+
It is also possible to create users with the `viewer` role that only have access to view records of other users. This can be used to share records with a caregiver.
131
+
132
+
This allows for a more complex example:
133
+
134
+
- a family consisting of 2 parents, and 2 children and a caregiver (nurse, babysitter, grandparent).
135
+
- both parents need to be able to access both children's records, and maybe each-others
136
+
- the caregiver should have view-only access to 1 or both children, but not the parents.
