As important as registering services (apps, cds hooks, etc.) is the ability to control and monitor who has access to these services. Users added to a User Directory can provide an email and password to access the provider/patient portal or to launch apps.
Two types of user directories exist:
- Delegated: Dictated by the downstream Auth server associated with a given data adapter. Users can be seen in the User Directory view, but not created, modified, or deleted.
- interopiO: Can be used in gateways configured to have a default data adapter of a CDR or a data adapter that has an open endpoint. Users in this type can be viewed, created, modified, and deleted.
User Directory Creation
Follow these steps to create a user directory on interopiO:
- Click the "Authentication" link on left side of screen or the Authentication widget if you're on the environment home page.
- Click "Add User Directory".
- In the wizard, provide the "Display name", "User Directory ID" (auto generated but can be manually changed), and "Description".
- Click "Add User Directory".
Add Users
Follow these steps to add users to a user directory:
- From the User Directory view, navigate to the tab labeled "Users".
- Click "Add User".
- In this view there are three main sections:
- Provide the "Name", "Email", and "Password" for the user.
- Select whether the user is a Provider or a Patient.
- FHIR data mappings can be added for this user at the bottom. This allows information about the user to be queried by portal or applications at the time of launch:
- Select the data adapter where a FHIR® resource about that user is stored. This information can only be received through a gateway configured against that data adapter (see Using interopiO > Gateway Management)
- Provide the FHIR® ID that identifies the user's FHIR® resource.
- Click "Add User".
