The APPLICATION USERS menu is where user access and permissions are managed in the software.

Once the user's IDs have been set up, each user can  change their own password within the CHANGE PASSWORD menu option. Alternatively, you can log in as your employees for the first time and assign them a password that you control.

ACCOUNT LOCKED - Clinics can configure (in CONFIGURE SYSTEM SETTINGS > SYSTEM > Security Settings) that only a specified amount of failed log in attempts are permitted prior to an account (user) being locked out for a specified amount of time. If an account (user) is currently locked out due to failed log in attempts, the check box will appear here in the APPLICATION USER window. To manually unlock an account (user), simply uncheck the ACCOUNT LOCKED flag. (Note that the ACCOUNT LOCKED flag cannot be

2-FACTOR VERIFICATION CODES - If 2-Factor Authentication has been turned on as a security setting within CONFIGURE SYSTEM SETTINGS > SYSTEM > Security Settings. This window will show details about this user's past log in's from IP addresses, web browsers, operating systems, verification codes used and which email addresses were used to distribute the codes to the user. Use the DELETE button to delete an IP address, which would force the user to do the 2-Factor Authentication steps again when using that IP address again. Use the REFRESH button to refresh the details presented. Press the OK button to close the screen and return to the previous screen.

On the main screen next is...

SECURITY PARAMETERS - Assign which permissions will be granted to this User ID.

*Note - Since parameters regarding permissions can be set both in APPLICATION USERS or SECURITY ROLES it is important to note that users will be assigned the highest permission if they belong to multiple security roles. For example let's assume a user has permission to discount invoices up to 10% on their user profile within APPLICATION USERS (within THIS screen), and belongs to Security Role #1 which has a limit of 35% on discounts and also belongs to Security Role #2 which has a limit of 22% discount permissions the user would have a 35% limit of discounts assigned as that was the highest permissions allocated to this user. It is not necessary to have permissions itemized at both the APPLICATION USER level and the SECURITY ROLE level as all permissions will be designed to review both places.

SESSION RESTRICTIONS - If your software has been set up with Session Restrictions. Please check with Auditdata (Client Services Department) if you are unsure you can manage those restrictions here on each application user. Indicate how many Maximum sessions this user can run at the same time and whether they can terminate the following:  what the system default maximum is for session terminations, only their own sessions, all sessions or whether they are not allowed to terminate any sessions via the ACTIVE USER SESSIONS menu option.

 

Within the ACTIVE USER SESSIONS menu option, users who have been given permission to terminate either their own sessions or all sessions will be able view and terminate sessions.

Users given access to ACTIVE USER SESSIONS can view the session as they have been given permission to (above) and highlight and DELETE as necessary. A session is considered ANY function that is open, other than any menu screens. For example if a user has the Patient menu open only, that would not be considered a licence or a session. If that same user had the patient menu open on one tab and had the INVOICES & QUOTES function open on another tab, that would be considered 1 licence or 1 session. If that same user had the patient menu open on one tab, the INVOICE & QUOTE function open on a 2nd tab and had the AR INQUIRY OPEN on a 3rd tab, that would use 2 license's or 2 sessions.

If SECURITY REGIONS have been set up in Region Information (CONFIGURE SYSTEM SETTINGS > SYSTEM > REGION INFORMATION) then a entire security region can be added to a user as opposed to adding location permissions one clinic at a time.
