Purpose

In Medicus, users are granted permissions by giving each user a 'user role'. User roles grant a user access to a set of permissions. Permissions grant a user role access to actions and/or views of data within Medicus.

A user can be assigned more than one user role, for example, they may need all of the permissions that a Doctor has but also need the permissions of Clinical Management if their role within the practice means they need access to audit logs.

This user guide outlines how user roles and permissions are broken down within Medicus.
