Residency Partner™ is a secure program that only allows individuals with user names and passwords access to it. Access to Residency Partner™ is further restricted by the requirement of permissions. In order to access certain data or areas of Residency Partner™, the user must have the correct permissions.

The User Access dialog in Residency Partner™ is used to add users and assign permissions. A user with Administrator permission has the highest level of access to Residency Partner™. The remaining permissions, Admin-Coordinator, Coordinator, Admin-Attending, Resident and Attending have descending levels of access to Residency Partner™.

Adding a New User

To add a user to a program:

1. Open Residency Partner™, then open the dataset and program where you want to add the user.
2. From the File menu, select User Access.
3. Click the tab of the type of user you will be adding.
4. Click Add.
5. Enter the user name and password in the fields provided. For residents, select the name of the resident from the list of residents.
6. Retype the password in the Confirm Password field, then click OK.

Before adding a resident as a user they must already have been added to Residency Partner™ by clicking the Residents icon and entering information about them. Adding a resident in User Access gives the resident access to Residency Partner™ through RP.NET.

Admin-Coordinators must be created by Administrators. In order to create an Admin-Coordinator, the administrator must open the program the admin-coordinator will be using, then use the User Access dialog to add a Admin-Coordinator.
