Can Create Groups button

(Replaces the former [ ] Add User checkbox. It is only accessible by Administrators and Superusers.)

This button is located in the Configure > Security screen, and applies to users Adding or Editing Security Group settings.

CanCreateGroups-initial

It relates to practitioners creating or editing other practitioners by means of the Wizard - the options configured by this button apply when assigning a Security Group in the People-Security page of the Wizard.

People-Security

Activated by checkboxblack-checked Add User / Provider

The Can Create Groups button is only accessible when the security option to checkboxblack-checked Add User / Provider is checked:

CanCreateGroups2

CannotCreateGroups

If the Add User / Provider checkbox is checked (checkboxblack-checked Add User / Provider) and you do not add at least one Group to Can Create Groups, when you go to Save the configuration you will be prompted to add Security Groups:

NoGroupsSelected

Flexible assignment of Groups

For flexibility purposes there are no inherent hierarchical rules, so for example, users in the RECEP group could be enabled to create users in the DENTIST group.

Security: The responsibility lies with Administrators and Superusers to configure security groups in such a way that users cannot function beyond the bounds of their roles, or configure other users to function inappropriately.

Example - Receptionists are enabled to assign users to a single Security Group:

RECEPgroup-Example1

Wizard-Pre-pop

Example - Receptionists are enabled to assign users to multiple Security Groups:

RECEPgroup-Example2

Wizard-Selectors

To enable users to assign other users to security groups in the Wizard

  1. Click [Can Create Groups] to open a Configure Security Group List window.

    This opens the Configure Security Group List, where you can enable members of the currently chosen Group to create members of Groups when they use the Wizard.

    This example shows the DENTIST group being enabled to assign users to these groups: DENTIST, CALLER, RECEP

    Dentist-SecGroups

  2. Move Security Groups between left pane and right pane until you have the appropriate groups in the right pane, then click OK.

To correct mistaken Security Group assignments

If a Provider has been assigned the incorrect Security Group in the Provider Wizard, the practice has until midnight of that day to correct the assignment.
