Access Levels

Because of the potentially sensitive nature of the data recorded in Clinical's patient database, security is implemented using a User Database and access levels. Access levels determine what information a user has access to.

Every user of Clinical must be defined in the user database. Each user's record will include the user's name, password and access level. When a user logs on, their password is matched against the user database to determine who they are and what level of access they have.

Clinical defines two separate classes of user: practitioners and users (users other than clinical staff).
