Hi,
I cannot create several accounts with different permissions for each account: 1. Administrator must have all permissions and that is fine.
But I can’t create the other accounts but they don’t have to have the same permissions.:
physician (more access than clinician)
clinician (less access than physician)
accountant accountant
front desk receptionist front desk receptionist.
I would like to have the same accounts as the demo and the possibility to add others.
Who can help me
Thx
Hello @bubu -
What error are you seeing that says you cannot do that?
If I understand your description correctly the practice you describe is the standard workflow creating multiple user accounts:
https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR_7_Create_User_Accounts
where the wiki page discusses setting the user’s ACL.
It would be helpful if you included screenshots of what you’re seeing that tells you you can’t do what you’re trying to do.
Best- harley
Thank you very much for answering my question. I would like to create several accounts which can be of the type:
- User (Patient Username)- who can only see his account information.
- physician - also here he only needs to have the permission of physician.
3.clinician - also here only needs to have the permission of clinician - accountant - also here you only need to have the permission of accountant.
- receptionist - also here only receptionist’s permission is required
- Pharmacist - also here only Pharmacy permission is required.
I hope I have been more precise about my problem.
thx aLot
Hello @bubu
Well, the questions you ask are still confusing to me. I cannot tell if you understand OpenEMR’s user feature. You say you want a ‘User (Patient Username)’? Patients do not have accounts to log into the EMR, they can only log into the portal. EMR accounts are only for practice staff who use the EMR to deliver healthcare to the patients.
When you say you want an account with ‘the permission of physician’, that is obtained by creating a user that has a username ‘physician’, then in that user’s profile, set their Access Control to ‘Physician’:
And similarly with the other accounts’ desired permissions: all those other ACLs are in that Access Control list. Create the account with the username ‘clinician’, or ‘accountant’, or whatever then assign that user the Access Control with that name. Look in the user profiles of the OpenEMR public demo to see what that looks like.
Except for Pharmacist: OpenEMR has no Pharmacist ACL. You would have to determine what activities were required to do Pharmacist work in your practice then create your own custom Pharmacist ACL that allowed access to those capabilities.
Customizing ACLs is a poorly documented aspect of OpenEMR but some information can be found in the wiki links below, some of which may be out of date. And beware, this is OpenEMR ROCKET SCIENCE! If you change access controls without knowing precisely what you are doing you can totally break your OpenEMR.

For more pages go to the wiki and search on ‘Access Control’ or ‘ACL’
Good luck!

portal-user is a system user that represents general portal patients/users actions.
Do not delete or change it’s status and the same with oe-system and phi-mail users.
Thank you very much for your help and thanks for your patience Mr. Harley

I am so sorry if I have confused your mind.
I just want to do like the demo when it comes to logins as you see in the picture. I tried adding patient or clinic but when I save it gives me invalid password error as you see the picture.
It appears that you are trying to do with this user account what Jerry said was not to be done: setting up a system user as if they were regular users.
First, can you tell me how you acquired the Groupname dropdown? I do not see it in the public dev demo and I do not know which global setting to set.
But it is common to see the incorrect password error when the two password blanks are not correct: the ‘Password’ is what you are assigning to the new user you are creating; ‘Your Password’ is for your current password, being the logged in administrator who is creating the new user.
You do not appear to be following the instructions on how to create user accounts that were linked in my first response to your first post. In your example you are using ‘philip’, not ‘physician’. And you cannot add patient accounts or clinics here in the user account section; they have their own places in the EMR.
Good luck!

I want to quickly note that when changing or setting passwords in Users to reenter your log in password in Your Password because I’ve found that the pre populated password doesn’t work and may be a bug.
@bubu This may be your issue and please respond here so others will know solution.
