Using Advanced Study Permissions
Introduction
Advanced Study Permissions is a setting used by System Administrators primarily for sites that must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is a legal framework of guidelines that establishes the way in which personal data is processed and protected. With the Advanced Study Permissions setting enabled in Synapse, users are only able to view the studies and Worklists to which they have been granted access, either by the access rules configured in SWAT or manually at the role or individual user level.

Note: |
The Advanced Study Permissions setting is not applied to remote datasource studies when the setting is disabled on the home datasource, but enabled on the remote datasource. |
- For sites that must comply with GDPR guidelines, as well as sites that want to limit or define visibility, access to all data (on both local and remote servers in a multi-datasource environment) is determined by access (visibility) rules as defined in SWAT by your System Administrator.
-
With GDPR enabled on the Home datasource, the study counts display for the Unread Studies Global and All Reservations Global Worklists.
- Using site-wide settings, your System Administrator creates visibility rules for all data that define white lists; the white lists specify which group of users (or individuals) have visibility into specific studies and patient-level data.
- Synapse provides users with appropriate permissions the ability to supersede the rules established by your System Administrator to allow or deny access to patient data on a case by case basis, using the Set Permissions option in the Worklist context menu.
