Users administration¶
User administration is restricted to users with the system role of IMIS Administrator or with a role including an access to Administration/Users.
Pre-conditions¶
A user may only be added or thereafter edited, after the approval of the management of the scheme administration. Deletion of a user normally will occur when a user leaves his/her post within the health insurance scheme and/or the scheme administration. A built in user with the user name Admin and the initial password Admin is created automatically in IMIS with access to all locations of the register of locations (at any time). The Admin user has an implicit role that includes full access rights to the registers of locations, full access to the register of user profiles and an access to downloading/uploading of the register of locations to/from an external file.
