Dr. Kay reported that downgrading his staff to “clinician” prevented them from being able to document immunizations. I didn’t yet find where that privilege is being tested in the code, but this needs to be addressed. It’s on my to-do list. Just mentioning it as something that needs to get taken care of before 4.1.2.

Hi Brady,
Please have a look at this thread. We’re stumped about how to disable patient account deletion while preserving the balance of Superuser functions. After resolution of this particular problem, I’ll update the Wiki article so users will have a better handle on ACL administration. Thanks for parachuting in.

I just had a staff member accidentally delete an entire patient in OpenEMR. As a result, we lost some of the documentation for that patient’s visits. Has there been any progress on fixing the ACLs so that all staff don’t have to have the authority to delete anything and everything to be able to perform basic functions in OpenEMR (like documenting immunizations)?

A quicker/safer approach might be to disable deleting entirely, even for administrators.
This would prevent the problem more directly.

Deleted comment since it was one of the answers earlier in this page.
clinician and physician have different rights.
Administrator needs to have the permission, to delete errors…
