Permissions
Permissions affect users' capabilities within applications.
Examples
There is a permission that allows users to view a request for a patient transport job and a permission that allows users to create or edit a request for a patient transport job.
There is a permission that allows an EVS employee to suspend a bed cleaning job in the Capacity IQ® EVS application and one that allows a user to edit a patient name on the Patient/Placement Details form in the Capacity IQ® PreAdmit application.
Groups
Groups link multiple permissions together so that they can be assigned as one.
If you are an administrator, you can add or edit a group and associate permissions with it within the Admin Tool component or within Admin > Settings > Capacity Management.
Example
You can add a group that has the permissions to view and create or edit transport jobs. That group can then be associated with a role called Requester 1 within the Capacity IQ® Transport application.
Understanding Membership in Group Context
When user records are added or edited, users can be assigned to the Requester 1 role and associated with a membership. The membership gives them access to patient and other information within a certain area (such as Unit 1 Floor 3, Building J in the main campus). The users will then have all of the permissions in the group associated with the Requester 1 role for the areas included in their memberships.
