Security Rights for Merging Person and Patient Records in File Maintenance

Security rights enable you to limit personnel access to the merge process at four levels:

• Association Level.Enables users to merge duplicate person and patient records within practices that are in the same association.
• Enterprise Level. Enables users to merge duplicate person and patient records within the enterprise.
• Practice Level. Enables users to merge duplicate person and patient records within the practice he or she is logged on to.
• System Level. Enables users to merge duplicate person and patient records from within all practices within the system.

A user with enterprise-level Person Merge access rights can run a practice-level Person Merge from any of the practices within the enterprise. A user with only practice-level Person Merge access rights cannot run an enterprise-level Person Merge.
