Introduction
- There are two ways to restrict event types by role:
| CREATE | Restrict which roles can report specific event types. E.g. You may have an event type such as Litigation which should only be reported by specifically allocated roles in the organisation. Or an event type such as Infection Outbreak which you'd like to restrict to Managers to ensure it’s discussed first before being reported in Radar Healthcare. |
|---|---|
| VIEW | Restrict which role can view specific event types once they've been reported. N.B. Users will need the Event ‘View’ permission within Administration > Access Control before this restriction can be applied. The Access Control ‘View’ permission is needed to be able to view any events in Radar Healthcare. This restriction is applied to the ‘View’ permission so that users can only see event types they need access to. |
Getting started
- To restrict events, from the Administration dashboard, select the Restrict Event Types button.
- You will be presented with your event types and any role restrictions set.
- Against the relevant event type, click the Edit restrictions (pencil icon) button.
- There are two options.
- Restrict to roles (View) - select the names of the roles which can have access to view these event types once they've been reported.
- Restrict to roles (Create) - select the names of the roles which can have the ability to report events of this type.
- Simply select the corresponding box to choose the roles.
- Click Save. Once restrictions have been set it will take immediate effect.
- If there are no role restrictions set, then the overall event permissions set in Access Control will apply.
- Please Note: If the Event Type has been archived then you will only be able to apply the restrictions to the VIEW option. This is because it is not possible to create/report a new event for an archived Event Type.
FAQ
How does the view permission work with other permissions which allow editing?
If a user has a role which is able to view a certain event type then all the other associated permissions apply, such as editing or reassigning etc. If you wish to have read-only access we recommend creating a specific role me.g.. “Event - Read Only”] and ensure they only have ‘’view’ permissions in Access Control, and then once assigned the permission to view specific event types in the restriction area they will only be able to read the events they can see and not edit them.
