Setting Study Permissions

Introduction

With appropriate permissions, you can use the Set Permissions feature found in the context menu of any studies-based Worklist to grant or revoke visibility to a study. Access can be established by role, individual user, or a combination. This feature is helpful in limiting visibility to a study intended only for a specific group of users.

Steps

Right-click the preferred study from any studies-based local Worklist to access the context menu.
Click to select Set Permissions. The Security dialog box opens.
Do one of the following:

If you want to do this...	Choose this option...
Grant or revoke access to an individual or an entire group based on role, including an option for Everyone. Note: The Administration, Administration Cardiology, and Settings Only roles are not included in the Everyone setting. The Synapse role that is assigned to you is not available in the list. You cannot deny access based on your assigned role. Example: If your assigned Synapse role is Administrator, the role of Administrator is not available as an option.	Start typing to select the appropriate role from the dialog box. Synapse matches the results as you type. Select the appropriate role from the dialog box. Optional: Click Show All to display any roles that should not be restricted.
Grant or revoke access to an individual. Note: Use this option when there are individuals who are exceptions to the group to which you want to grant or revoke access. You can grant or revoke study access to as many individuals as necessary, but only one at a time.	Place your cursor in the text field below the Users and Roles heading. Note: User names display by login name in alphabetical order. Scroll to or type the last name you want to add.
