Propagating Permissions

Because permissions to access the various Vocera features are granted by group, there is a benefit to nesting groups. For example, if we refer to the E D example above, the E D Nurse Manager group is a member of the E D department group. One could deduce that if the nurse Jane Smith is the E D Nurse Manager and a member of the E D Nurse Manager group, and the E D Nurse Manager group is a member of the E D (department group), then Jane Smith is a member of the E D department group. The permissions that you specify for a group flow down to the members of nested groups all the way through to the lowest group level (if A —> B, and B —> C, and C —> D, then A —> D).
