The Studycast system offers flexible options for creating users with different permissions.
The user types are:
- Client Admin
- Client Sonographer
- Client Staff
- Reading Doctor
- Reading Staff
- Referring Doctor
- Referring Staff
The default permissions for each user type are in the table below. However, Client Admin users can override the default settings and choose to grant or deny each permission individually for any user. This flexibility helps ensure that all users have appropriate access.
Additionally, Client Admin users can create Permission Favorites, which can define and save custom permission sets that Client Admins can apply to other users. To learn how to create and apply Permission Favorites, visit the Manage Users page.
Grant or deny permissions individually. Users may have different permissions than the default settings listed below.
