Security

Members of your practice are initially entered on to the system from File Maintenance - Staff. To allow them to log on to Vision 3 they must then be added in Security.

Adding a staff member from Control Panel - File Maintenance automatically prompts you to add the user in Security.

To access Security directly, from the Vision 3 front screen, select Control Panel - Security.

The Security screen is divided into three panes:

  • Current Users (top left) - Users added in File Maintenance, their login names, passwords, defaults and screensaver options, seeViewing the Current User List.
  • Groups of Users (bottom left) - Users can be split into groups with access rights to specific Vision functions, see Groups of Users in Security:
    • All Users
    • Clinical Managers
    • System Managers
    • User-definable groups
  • Vision Functions (right frame) - A list of modules and functions within Vision, to which individual users or groups of users can have access rights, see Vision Functions.
