Permission and Role Definitions

Default Role definitions

Bp Allied provides some defined roles to enable setting up permissions to be easier. New roles based on these can be added.

  • System Administrator - By default there MUST always be one user set as the System Administrator, if there is only one User, then this will be the role that is set. This user has access to all functions in Bp Allied and the permissions set against this role are unable to changed.
  • Office Manager - Access to all functions except Manage users and Custom reports.
  • Reception - Access to see all Clients but unable to view History or Consultation details, can run all reports (except custom), unable to delete documents, phone calls/emails or Clients, can merge all Client info into letters, can change Client Practitioner and Administer Calendars.
  • There are three default practitioner related roles, each with an increasing restricted level of access to Client data.
  • Practitioner (All Clients) - Practitioner is able to access all Client information including demographics, history and consultations for all Clients. Enabled permission are 4001, 4003 and 4021.
  • Practitioner (Own Clients - All Consults) - Practitioner is able to access Client information including appointments, demographics, history and consultations for the Clients that the practitioner is assigned to only. If a client is shared between multiple practitioners, then this practitioner can see Consultations by those other practitioners too. Enabled permissions are 4005, 4007 and 4022.  If viewing the consultations carried out by other practitioners for their clients is required then permission 4010 rather than 4007 must be enabled.
  • Practitioner (Own Clients - Own Consults) - Practitioner is able to access Client information including appointments, demographics, history and consultations for the Clients that the practitioner is assigned to only. If a client is shared between multiple practitioners, then this practitioner can NOT edit or view Consultations by other practitioners. Enabled permissions are 4005, 4009 and 4022.

All of the Practitioner Roles are restricted from the following: running financial reports, processing refunds, deleting referrers or editing products and services, no Administrative Access (5000 Series) except Change Practitioner if they are the Primary Practitioner.

Client access definitions

Client Access table

Holds the definitions of which user can access which client.

Own Client

A client that a Practitioner is specified as the primary practitioner for OR where a practitioner has View or Edit demographic permissions defined for that Client.

Own Consultations

Displays only the consultations for a Client where that Practitioner was the practitioner who carried out the consultation.

All Clients

Where a user has access to all Clients in the database irrespective of who is assigned as the primary practitioner.

All Consultations

Displays all consultations for a Client that a practitioner has access to, regardless of whether that consultation was carried out by that practitioner or another practitioner.

Primary Practitioner

Practitioner who is given Primary access to a Clients records. There can be only one.

For a New Client the Default Primary Practitioner is:

  • If the logged in User is a Practitioner, then user becomes Primary Practitioner.
  • If the Office has only one practitioner, then that practitioner becomes Primary Practitioner.

Secondary Practitioner

Practitioner who has rights to view or edit a Client's information as specified in the Client Access table but who is not defined as the Primary Practitioner.

Client access permissions

Whilst most permissions are set to either on or off, can access or can not access something, the permissions in relation to viewing and editing Client data are not as straight forward. There are 10 categories of Client Access permissions that can be set against a role, along with four options that effect the addition and viewing of documents, emails, SMS and Phone Call History. These are defined in the table below.

* Permissions 4010 is a cut down version of 4007. For Clients that are defined as their Own, the only consultations that can be edited are those that the Practitioner has carried out themselves (e.g. their name is the practitioner against the appointment) but if that Client has had appointments with other practitioners, then they can view those as well.

** Permission 4021 works in a functional sense as it is supposed to for all Roles, but from a visual sense it 'looks' wrong for 'Own Clients All Consults' role as it sets all docs available for all Clients not just 'Own' clients. Functionally this is ok as the Role User cannot access the client due to the demographics permission being set to 'None'
