User Access Level Configuration

This question asks if your application lets administrators create and manage different permission levels for users. It's like being able to create different types of security badges for a building - some people get access to all floors, others only to specific areas. You need the flexibility to define what each type of user can see and do within the system.

The ability to define custom access levels is fundamental to HIPAA compliance and essential for healthcare organizations with complex permission needs. Without it, organizations either give users too much access (violating HIPAA's minimum necessary rule) or too little (hampering operations). This basic capability is table stakes for healthcare vendors - lacking it immediately disqualifies you from most opportunities.

Companies often provide pre-defined roles that don't match real healthcare workflows, forcing organizations into poor security compromises. Another mistake is making access level configuration so technical that only developers can manage it, preventing healthcare security teams from responding quickly to access needs.
