User Profile Manager
User Profile Manager App (5.58)
Adding a Clinician - User Profile (1.28)
The User Profile Manager brings all Consultation Manager user configuration settings together in one place. It allows users to update their own settings and administrative users with appropriate access rights, set within Control Panel - Security to create and maintain user profiles, by configuring and saving one or more Consultation Manager settings which can then be applied to single users, multiple users or staff groups (for example, a practice manager can update a setting for all GP's directly from their own workstation).
The initial defaults within User Profile Manager are the same as those in Consultation Manager - Setup, you can however use User Profile Manager to define your own practice defaults. See Creating and Editing a User Profile.
If you have Role Based Access Control (RBAC) enabled, you must ensure that staff requiring access to User Profile Manager app for other members of staff, have the following code add to their Smartcard. Without this staff can only access their own settings. You must contact your Registration Authority (RA) to add access to relevant staff. The RBAC activity linked to the Vision 3 Security Function for User Profile Manager is:
