Security settings

Clinic-level security policies — 2FA enforcement, session timeout, password rules.

Overview

Per-clinic security policies. Enforce 2FA, set session timeout, password complexity, IP restrictions. Different from per-user security (which lives in My Profile).

Prerequisites

  • Owner or Admin role

Steps

Open Security settings. Settings → Security.

Set 2FA enforcement. Optional / Recommended / Required. Required forces every user to enable 2FA before they can sign in.

Set session timeout. Minutes of inactivity before auto-sign-out. 15-30 reasonable for shared computers; 240 max.

Set password rules. Minimum length (default 12), required character classes (mixed case, numbers, symbols), reuse prevention (last 5 passwords).

Set IP allow-list (optional). If your clinic only operates from specific IPs, restrict sign-in to those. Risk: blocks remote access too.

Set anomaly alerts. Detect unusual sign-in patterns — different country, different time-of-day, repeated failed attempts.

Save. Changes apply on next sign-in for affected users.

Review the audit log. Audit Log — see who changed what when. Audit log retention is 7 years.

Expected outcome

  • Clinic-wide policies enforced consistently
  • Anomalies surface as alerts
  • Audit log captures every change
