Set User Security Permissions
In this topic, you will learn about security groups and assigning security permissions to groups.
What are Security Groups?
Insight lets you create and mange multiple security groups. Each security group has assigned permissions to View or Edit information in different areas of the system. You can use security groups to hide areas of the software from a group. Users are assigned to an appropriate security group.
There are separate security permissions for access to reporting and viewing of clinic schedules and information.
Creating a Security Group
Use the following procedure in either Insight EMR or Insight Billing to create a new security group.
- From the Security menu, select Security Group Permissions. The Add/Edit Group Permissions dialog box appears.
- Create a new security group using one of the following methods.
- Click New to create a group with default permissions, or
- Click the Security Group arrow to display a list of security groups. Select the desired security group and click Copy to create a group with permissions initially copies from the selected group.
- Enter the name you want to give the new security group.
- Click OK. The Enter Group Name dialog box closes and the new security group appears in the Security Group list. You can then set permissions for members of this security group.
- Click OK to save your changes and close the Add/Edit Group Permissions dialog.
Deleting a Security Group
To delete an existing security group from the Add/Edit Group Permissions dialog:
- Select the security group to delete from the Security Group list.
- Click Delete.
Note: If there are users currently assigned to the security group, the Merge User prompt displays. You will need to select another security group to assign those users to before you are allowed to perform the delete.
- Click Yes to confirm you would like to delete the selected security group.
Renaming a Security Group
To rename an existing security group in the Add/Edit Group Permissions dialog:
- Select the security group to rename from the Security Group list.
- Click Rename. The Enter New Group Name prompt displays.
- Enter the new group name and click OK.
A warning message appears if you enter a security group that already exists.
Setting Security Group Permissions
Use the following procedure in Insight EMR to set the permissions for a security group.
- From the Security menu, select Security Group Permissions. The Add/Edit Group Permissions dialog box appears.
- Click the Security Group arrow to display a list of security groups. Select the name of the security group whose permissions you want to examine or set.
The permissions for the selected group appear in the list below. These individual permissions are described later in this topic.
For each type of permission, you can set the access to that feature for the selected security group to one of these options:- Hide, which prevents members of the selected group from seeing the feature in Insight EMR,
- View, which permits members of the selected group to see the feature but not make any changes to settings for that feature, or
- Edit, which permits members of the security group to both see the feature and current settings as well as make any appropriate changes in that feature.
- When you finish making any changes to permissions for the selected security group, click Save to save those changes to the system and close the Add/Edit Group Permissions dialog box.
