Best Practices

Principle of Least Privilege

Give users the minimum permissions needed to do their job. This reduces security risks and protects sensitive patient data.

Regular Permission Audits

Periodically review user permissions to ensure they still match current job responsibilities. Remove access that is no longer needed.

Always Save Changes

After editing roles or users, always click the Save button. Changes are not applied until you save. The system will confirm when changes have been successfully saved.

Secure Password Reset Process

Use the built-in password reset feature rather than sharing passwords. This maintains audit trails and ensures secure password creation.
