Managing VCE Users

A user is a person who has been authorized to access the VCE product. A unique account is created for each user which defines the features in the VCE app that they may access.

You may be authorized to manage your staff's access to the roles and facilities you wish them to use in performing their responsibilities. If you have the appropriate authorization, you can edit a user's role permissions, provide users access to the facilities and units they can work with, and delete users who no longer require access to VCE.

Roles are defined in VCE to allow users access to the functionality necessary to perform their jobs. A defined role is associated with the rounding functionality needed, such as a clinical or environmental rounding survey. For example, a user may be assigned a clinical role which provides access to the rounding surveys they need for patient care. Users can be authorized to access all locations (hospital, campus, care unit) or to a subsection of locations where they may have responsibilities.

Customers often choose Active Directory (AD) to manage user authentication and authorization in Vocera. If desired, a customer can employ the Managing Users functionality to manually create users in VCE, instead of using AD to populate the VCE user data.
