Core Restrictions

For users who do not have permission to see sensitive patient details, this will:

  • Prevent the patient record from appearing in search.
  • Preview appointments from being visible.

Note that as of 6.97, this functionality is made available as a proof of concept. There may be other areas - list views, etc that present a patient's name or detail to users otherwise authorised at that specific location. Consider carefully when designing your security groups that this simply blocks the most common access.
