The User Management Admin window provides access to all the available user management functions. These functions include adding, editing, and deleting users, as well as defining all their relevant settings. Users defined in the system appear in the Users tab and can be filtered and sorted in the display.
NOTE: The User Management Admin window appears differently depending on whether your system is using LDAP or not.
From the CARESTREAM PACS Admin Home Page, select User Management.
The User Management Admin window appears.
The Users tab contains list of predefined users. You can add users to the list, edit a user’s settings, or delete a user, as well as filter and sort the list of users. The Users tab contains the following information for each user:
|
Column |
Description |
|
Login Name |
The user’s assigned login name. |
|
First Name |
The user’s first name. |
|
Last Name |
The user’s last name. |
|
Group Name |
The group to which the user is assigned by the administrator. |
|
|
The user’s e-mail address. |
|
Last Login Date |
The date that the user last logged in to the system. This is useful for determining if the user is actively using the system or not. To insert the current date, click Current Date for the relevant field. Between/and: a date option that filters users by the Last Login Date. In the Between/and field, enter the to and from dates in DD/MM/YYYY format. Previous: Enter or select the number of previous days (for example, enter 7 for the previous week). All users who have logged in during the previous [x] days appear. |
|
Password Age |
The age of the user’s password (in days). This lets you know when it is time for users to change their passwords (and remind them if necessary). It is also useful for determining if a user’s password is too old and should be changed for security purposes. From/To: This numeric option filters the users by the password age. Enter the required range of days (for example, from 20 to 50). |
|
Status |
The user’s current status, as follows: Active: The user is currently active and has access to the system. Suspend: The user has attempted to log in several times using incorrect login information and is currently blocked from accessing the system. The user remains locked until the administrator unlocks the user account. Timeout: The user has attempted to log in several times using incorrect login information and is currently blocked from accessing the system for the preconfigured timeout period. The user can either wait for the timeout period to pass or request to be unlocked by the administrator. Expired: The user can no longer access the system. This often indicates that the user was assigned a temporary role, which allowed access to the system for only a limited time. It is recommended to delete any expired user accounts from the system. NOTE: The Audit Trail uses the user's login ID when recording actions performed by this user. When a user account is removed from the system, the system administrator should keep a record (for at least six years) of the personal identity of the user, so that historical data in the Audit Trail can be related to that individual. |
NOTE: A user can also be manually locked out of the system, if required. For more information, see the User Status option in Adding New Users.
