Manage user rights

To make it easier to create and manage user accounts you can predefine rights on per user category basis in “user profiles”. Then, instead of specifying for each account which actions the user will be allowed to perform, you will simply need to select the appropriate profile for the user. And if you need to adjust the rights in the profile for a specific user, you customize them for the user (provided that you are allowed to perform this operation).

Also, if you need to edit the rights for a given user category, you simply need to edit the matching profile, and the changes you’ve made will be automatically applied to all the user accounts associated with the profile.

To access rights management, click your name in the top right corner of the screen, then click on Administration, Users, and on the Profiles button.

Create a user profile

Click the Create a user profile button, fill out the Name field.

You can specify if you want the users to have an administrator’s role and like you edit the Nexus configuration.

You can allow users to view all the cases sent and received by your establishment, select the Yes option beside Supervisor.

Depending on case types, the “Supervisor” role enables performing specific operations such as transferring a STAT case that has not yet been processed to an available physician.

Then complete the permission level for each right.
