Once Security has been set up and all staff members have a unique login and password, it is possible to track changes and events in SOAPware connecting modifications made to patient information to a specific user.  To be able to search the Audit Logs, a SOAPware Standard or SOAPware Professional license is required.

This lesson will show how to enable/disable drug/allergy interaction alerts at the user level.  Drug/Allergy interaction alerts can also be enabled/disabled at the group or role level.  Remember, changing a user at the user level, will override what is indicated at the group or role level.

SOAPware Groups describe a set of privileges that can be applied to a selection individual users. Groups can be thought of as departments within an office, and a listing the responsibilities and limitations of members of that group. Users can belong to any number of groups simultaneously, and entire groups can be assigned to Group.

A Role is intended to represent a particular job function within the clinic, such as Nurse, Office Manager, Clinician, etc.  Each one of these roles will need restricted access to particular actions.

To gain access to Security, a user must be granted the access rights of a System Administrator.  Before beginning to assign security settings, the System Administrator should become familiar with the functions related to Groups, Roles and Users.
