Map User Accounts to Roles

Map organizational units, groups, and individual users from the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory to specific roles in Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare.

Before you begin

The User Authorization plug-in must be installed so that the Role column appears in the Search Contexts table.

By default, the LDAP Authorization plug-in does not assign roles to user accounts from the LDAP directory. You can manually assign roles in the Search Contexts table.

  1. If you have already done so, create or modify roles on the Role-Based Access Control tab.

  2. Select the LDAP Authorization tab.
  3. To assign roles to organizational units (OU), groups, or specific users in the LDAP directory, set Manage Roles to Yes.

  4. In the Role column for each entry, select the role to assign to the users that are listed in the DN column.
  5. To assign multiple roles to the same OU, group, or user, create multiple entries with the same DN value but different Role values.

  6. If a particular user in a group or organizational unit needs an elevated role above that of the group, add an entry for that specific user with the elevated role.
