User Groups (Group Memberships) are input through Setup/Security/Groups.

- Click the word “Setup” and choose the “Security” and “Users” options from the drop-down box
- Select the desired user
- Click the Edit button
- Change the “Password” to a random selection of numbers and letters

NOTE: For HIPAA concerns and for data security, Denticon advises that every user is entered as a unique user – no matter if the user is a permanent staff member, or a temporary staff member. That way, for tracking and reporting purposes, all transactions are recorded with a specific username rather than a shared name.
Shared-name logins do not allow for user responsibility and accountability for transactions that are entered. Shared-name logins do not allow office Administrators to exactly determine the source-person for a particular entry.
