Security Preferences

The table below shows the available settings for each of the items on the Security preferences tab. Select the items you want to apply. The default value for each item is shown at the right of the tab.

• System	Site	Account	Preference	Definition	Default
  ●			Signing password cache interval	This setting controls how often to request a password confirmation when a radiologist signs or approves a report. This preference is ignored for transcriptionist/editors; they are not prompted for a password. Select Ask every time, Never ask, a number of minutes (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, or 90), or hours (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 12).	Ask every time
  ●			Automatic log off idle time	The amount of time the user can stay logged into the system when there is no activity at the workstation. Select Never, or a number of minutes (15, 30, 45, 60, or 90), or hours (2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 12, 18, or 24). NOTE: For administrators with access to the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting Administrator Portal, the idle time is fixed at 60 minutes.	Never
  ●			Lock out user after failed attempts	Select Never, or select the number of attempts.	Never
  ●			Lock out user after days of inactivity	Select Never, a number of days ( 7, 15, 30, or 45), a number of months (2, 3, 4, 5, or 6), or one year.	Never
  ●			Forced password change interval	The period of time after which the user is prompted to create a new password. The user is not allowed to reuse an older password, and empty passwords are not permitted. This preference is disregarded when LDAP authentication is used. Select Never, a number of days (7, 15, 30, or 45 ), a number of months (2, 3, 4, 5, or 9), or one year. Selecting a value other than Never activates the Force Reset item in the Password menu on the Accounts tab.	30 days
  ●			Require strong password	The system is to reject any password that does not contain at least at least 6 characters, with at least one letter and one digit.	False
  ●			Allow null password via automation	A third-party system (for example, PACS) can log in a user to PowerScribe 360 | Reporting without specifying a password. This option can be useful for single sign-on scenarios where the PACS is not capable of sending the password.	True
  ●			Enable simultaneous logins	Allows a user to log in at more than one workstation simultaneously. CAUTION: It is recommended that you not enable this preference, both for security purposes and to avoid corruption of the roaming speech profile.	False
  ●		●	Enable automatic log collection	Select this check box to enable the "Collect logs..." feature automatically when the user logs off of the client application. NOTE: Although this is an Account level preference, only an administrator can manage this option in the admin portal; it is not available to dictators/editors in the client application preferences.	False
  ●		●	Enable application logging	Select one or more items to log at the account level. Choices are:   Grammar Rules Cursor Moves Record Mode Changes Field Navigation Report Workflow Speech Session Stray Toolbars Performance RAS Microphone Buttons Disabled All To set the length of time to keep logs, go to System > Configuration > PowerScribe 360 Client and select a number of days.	Disabled
  ●		●	Warn on logoff	The software displays a warning message when the user exits the application or if the application is closed automatically. Choices are: Never Always If queue not empty	Never
  ●		●	Block display of demographics	The patient's Name and MRN appear as n/a, and are not displayed when the user views the report. (This option is usually activated for users with editor or technologist roles—assuming they do not need to see this patient information—so as to meet HIPAA requirements.)	False
  ●	●		Physician access mode	This preference controls the way physicians access the system. Disabled: Physicians do not have access. Enabled with administered registration: New Portal accounts for physicians are created only by administrators. Enabled with self-registration: A link in the login page allows a physician who already has one or more records in the database (typically originating from a HL7 feed) to create a Portal account and map it to the record(s) by providing his site identifier. Enabled with self-registration and OE access: At the time of the registration, the Order Entry user role is automatically assigned to the new physician account, allowing access to the Order Entry pages. If a physician account does not have that role, she can only access Explorer, to browse for patients' reports.	Enabled with administered registration
