Access
Only users designated as administrators can access the User
Administration Workspace in the CDS by clicking Main >
Open Administration Function > User Administration.
A password dialog then opens. Type in your CDS log-in
password and click OK.
Creating Security Profiles
Once the User Administration Workspace is activated, the Administrator will need to determine how many
different security profiles are needed for their facility and what workspaces and functions should be avail-
able to users at those different security levels. Once those decisions have been made, the next step is to cre-
ate the desired security profiles in the User Administration Workspace.
Please note that an Administrator profile will always exist in the User Administration Workspace. It cannot
be edited or deleted, and allows access for those designated users to all CDS Workspaces and functions.
To create a new security profile: click Profile > Add... The Add Security Pro-
file dialog then opens.
Type in the name of the new Security Profile, then check off the different work-
spaces and functions users assigned to that security level will be allowed to
access, and then click OK. The newly created security profile will then be
added to the Available Security Profile list.
Deleting Security Profiles
To delete an existing Security Profile, check on the profile you want to delete in the Available Security Pro-
files window. Click Profile > Delete and answer Yes when prompted.
Please note that a Security Profile can only be deleted if all the Users assigned to that profile have first been
deleted from the Users window. If any users remain, messages reading Error Accessing Database and Error
Deleting Profile appear.
The Administrator Security Profile is permanent and cannot be deleted.
Editing Security Profiles
To edit an existing Security Profile, click the profile you want to edit in the Available Security Profiles win-
dow. Click Profile > Edit. The name of the profile will then be highlighted in blue. To edit the profile
name, simply type in the new profile name. Then select or deselect the desired listings under the Security
Options for Selected Profile window by checking the corresponding box.
When all edits are complete, click Profile > Edit and answer Yes when prompted to save the changes.
Adding Users
Once all the Security Profiles have been created, the next step is to create users
and assign them to the various security profile levels.
To add a user to a security profile when in the User Administration Workspace,
click User > Add.... An Add User box then opens.
Type in the User Name in the first line, then choose the appropriate Security
Profile from the drop-down list and click OK. The new user listing then appears in the User window.
