Security Functions

As the Administrator, it is your responsibility to educate new users to the importance of protecting their login and password in OSCAR. This is important to protect the integrity of the system and the patient’s confidential records.

ADD A LOGIN RECORD

See New User Setup- Step 4

SEARCH/EDIT/DELETE SECURITY RECORDS

If you wish to view/change the user name, password and PIN of a certain provider, type their provider number into the search field and click 'Search'.  Click on the correct user name, and modify.  You will not be able to view their old password, as it will be encoded.  If you want to change the password, delete the encoded text, type in the new password, then click "Update Record"

ADD A ROLE

Type the role you wish to add until the search box.  If it is found to be a New Role, click Save to add it.

ASSIGN ROLE TO PROVIDER

1. Search for the provider you wish to modify using the search field in the upper right corner
2. Choose a role from the drop down menu and click one of the three available actions: "Add", "Update", or "Delete"
3. Each new role will appear as a new row.  Providers with multiple roles will have multiple rows in the chart.  If you are shown a message "Role NOT added!! (11)" you have already assigned this role to this provider.

ASSIGN ROLE/RIGHTS TO OBJECT

This function can be used to assign certain privileges (such as 'Read', 'Write', or 'Delete') to specific roles (Doctor, Nurse, etc.) or even to certain providers.  Choose from the drop down menus for the role or provider you wish to modify, then click the checkboxes of the objects and privileges you want to assign to them.
