Security Roles

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The MAINTAIN SECURITY ROLES is where a clinic can design Security Roles in their organization and allocate which Security Roles (and the users that belong to them) have permission to access specific menu items. For example, Security Roles such as "Front Desk", "Audiologists" and "Manager" can be set up with a Security Role designed to only access specific menu options.

 

To add a new Security Role, click ADD. To edit an existing Security Role, click CHANGE and highlight the Security Role to edit. To delete an existing Security Role, click DELETE.

 

Adding a Security Role:

 

Click ADD to add Security Roles for your clinic. A CODE (unique alphanumeric identifier maximum 5 digits long ) will need to be assigned to each level. Enter a DESCRIPTION for each Security Role that identifies the users who will be assigned to this role (maximum 40 characters long).

 

Next, click the USERS window button and click ADD to assign each User ID (as previously entered in Application Users) to this Security Role. Click ADD to add new users to the list of users who will be assigned this Security Role. (If the user you wish to add to this Security Role is not available in the list, you will need to add them first to APPLICATION USERS.)

 

 

 

When finished adding users for this Security Role, click CONTINUE to return to the previous screen.

 

Next ,click the MENU window button ( ellipsis button ) to be presented with a view of the entire software menu.

 

Click any MENU on the left, and the SUB MENU for that menu option will appear to the right. Double click on each individual SUB MENU option to flag that the Security Role has access to this menu option . The CHECK MARK symbol indicates that this Security Role has access to this menu option. The CHECK MARK symbol will appear or disappear by double clicking the menu option. To save time for Security Roles that will or will not have access to most of the menu options, click the SELECT ALL/CLEAR ALL button located at the bottom of the screen.

 

Click each menu option on the left one at a time and select the menu options (on the right) that this Security Role will have access to by double clicking (to reveal the check mark).

 

 

 

When finished assigning all the menu option accesses for this Security Role, click OK to be brought back to the MAINTAIN SECURITY ROLES screen.

 

Next, click the PERMISSIONS window button ( ellipsis button) to assign permissions for each of your security roles. (Note that any clinics with customizations may see additional or different parameters listed. Please contact your Clinics Manage Administrator for details on any parameters seen in SECURITY ROLLS that are not listed below. Also note that some permissions only apply to specific Countries and may or may not be visible for that reason.)

 

Permissions for each security role dictates which configurable menu options, record deletions and fields can be accessed by this security role. A check mark beside any permission item means that this security role - and any users assigned to this security role will have access to it.

 

To indicate that a SECURITY ROLE has permission to ADD, EDIT or DELETE from each of the below configuration menu options, click the check box to the right of the menu option.

*Note the following parameters are also available within CONFIGURE SYSTEM SETTINGS > SYSTEM > Application Users allowing clinics to design the following security parameters either at the individual user level or at the whole security role level. 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, 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.
