Roles
The RALS™ SYSTEM provides the ability to control what data and actions are available to operators by creating and assigning roles.
A role is a collection of permissions that is used to control operators’ access within the RALS™ SYSTEM. Every operator has a role.
Frequently asked questions:
How can I allow my Nursing Education staff to add operators without giving them full access as a POCC?

Field | Notes |
---|---|
Name | You will be prompted to enter a new one |
Active | New roles will be created as active |
Deactivating or Deleting
Roles can be deactivated.
A deactivated role cannot be assigned to an operator, but operators that already exist with the deactivated role will not be impacted. These operators can still login to the RALS™ SYSTEM and have access as defined by their deactivated role.
