Security
My Vision Express handles security based on user groups. Six of these security groups are predefined for you in the application: Administrator, Billing, Doctors, Lab, Opticians and Reception. You can add, delete or modify user groups by going to File > Setup > Categories on the main application menu and then selecting the “Security Group” category.

Fig. 13 - The Company Information screen - ‘Security’ tab |
On this ‘Security’ tab (Fig. 13), you can define what level of access members of each group have to different areas of the program. To accomplish this, select the group that you would like to adjust from the ‘Security Group’ drop-down box. On the grid below, select the “Status” for each “Description”.
NOTE: Make sure that at least one security group with one active member has the Company Information feature (screen) “Enabled”. Otherwise, you would lock every user out of this screen and would need to contact the My Vision Express Support Department to re-enable access to it. It is recommended that you keep every feature “Enabled” for the “Administrator” security group.
The “Description” column lists the different areas of the program whose level of access you can control. The “Status” could be set to “Enabled”, “Disabled” or “Invisible”. “Enabled” means that members of the security group that you are editing will have access to the feature selected. A “Disabled” feature will be visible to members of the security group at run-time, but it will be disabled (grayed-out) so that they do not have access to it. An “Invisible” feature is not available or even visible to the members of the group.
Once you have setup the level of access for your security groups, you should assign these to each of your users (employees) by going to File > Setup > Employees from the main application menu. For more information check the Employees section further down this chapter.
Use the ‘Auto-Lock’ field, on the upper right-hand corner, to specify the number of seconds that the application is allowed to remain idle before automatically locking itself up to prevent unauthorized use.
The user is prompted to login again after the time specified has elapsed. The software defaults to 86,400 seconds (the equivalent to one day), but you may want to lower this value to just a few minutes if you have a lot of traffic around your computer terminals.
