What are Vision Functions?

In the right-hand frame is a list of all the Vision functions. This is where you determine which users have access to which functions.

By default:

  • Only System Managers have access to Security and File Maintenance.
  • Only Clinical Managers have access to Consultation Manager.

Select Expand to see which groups are currently assigned to it, and Collapse to collapse it again.

You can further expand a group to view the list of users.

Some modules, such as Consultation Manager, File Maintenance and Vision Utilities, have further menu options once expanded, so there can be different access to the menu options within the module.

In essence, any group that is placed immediately beneath a module heading has access to everything within that module. So if a heading has the group All Users immediately beneath, then all users can access that module. Some modules have Clinical Managers and others, System Managers.

Where the module has further sub-sections, such as Consultation Manager, you move from the least secure (Clinical Managers) to a most secure sublevel of Delete Item – this is further explained overleaf, and in Security model.

Generally speaking, users or groups are always allowed to do the functions they are listed directly under, plus anything which can be followed with a straight line UPWARDS, but not side branches of that straight line.
