Admin: Roles & permissions

Atmolytics has a flexible security system which is based around roles.

A role is a type of profile which specifies the patients, data, reporting Apps and locations that anyone with that role can access. Additionally, permissions are set for reading, creating and sharing both cohorts and reports.

Roles are created by the system administrator. Permissions are assigned to these roles, and roles are assigned to users.

This allows the creation of roles to represent projects, groups, or related staff members who should share certain permissions. In this way, protected health information (or other types of sensitive data) can be restricted to certain roles.

A user can have more than one role. If they do, they will be prompted to select the one they want to use for the current session after they have logged in.
