Users are set up and maintained via Administration - Users.

Each user has:

These determine what the user can do. See User Requirements for the requirements of particular users.
 

User Groups can also be created via Administration - Groups. These are used only to allow messages to be sent to multiple users and cannot be used to set categories and roles for groups of users.

Login

All users have a Login Name and a Password. Note that:

  1. Only administrators can set passwords
     
  2. There is no block in the system against multiple people logging on to the system at the same time with the same Login Name - that is if you choose to operate with logins that reflect functions (such as reception, pharmacy, and nurse) rather than names, then there will be no problem with multiple people logging on as 'reception' at the same time. However, in this environment there will be less tracking of who did what since a number of different individuals will be using the same login name.

Names and Descriptions

All users have a name and a description. The name can be anything, e.g. GB, George Brown, or Dr George Brown.  However, there is benefit in using short names (like GB), particularly for clinicians, because it makes it easier to quickly enter the clinician. This is particularly easy if each clinician's name starts with a different letter. If you are using short names, then the user's description should be set to the full name, eg Dr George Brown or even Dr George Brown BSc(Vetbiol), BVMS(Hons). This can then be displayed on forms and certificates.

Colours

All users have a 'colour' which determines how their names are highlighted on certain screens - notably the Scheduling, Work List, and Rostering screens.
 

Categories

The system comes with four categories:

  • Administrator
  • Clinician
  • Nurse
  • Reception

Additional categories can be added using Administration - Lookups - User Types. A user can belong to more that one category e.g. a user could be both a Clinician and an Administrator.

Administrators get:

  • an extra 'Administration' entry in the top menu line which allows access to the various administration functions.
  • additional functionality in:
    • Customers - Accounts
      • Check
    • Customers - Information
      • Merge
    • Patients - Information
      • Merge
    • Products - Information
      • Edit
      • Delete
      • Copy
      • Export
      • Import

Only users with Clinician category displayed in the 'Clinician' pull-down list shown on various screens.

Roles

  • Roles define what users can do. A user can have multiple roles.
  • Each role has a list of authorities.
  • Authorities define the operations that may be performed to an archetype or set of archetypes.
    There are typically create, save, and remove authorities defined e.g.:
    • Appointment Create - enables the user to create appointments
    • Appointment Save - enables the user to save (i.e. modify) appointments
    • Appointment Remove - enables the user to delete appointments
  • Additional roles can be defined using Administration - Roles
  • Additional authorities can be define using Administration - Authorities.
