Managing and withdrawing access

Seeing who has what

The Shared by you tab lists every session you have shared. For each one you get two lists:

• Pending invitations, with the address, when you sent it and when it expires. Rhazes also records whether the invitation has been opened, so you can tell a colleague who has not seen it from one who has and has not acted.
• People who have accepted, who currently have access.

That distinction is the useful one. An unopened invitation is not a handover, and knowing which of the two you are looking at is the difference between chasing someone and assuming they have it.

Withdrawing access

You can remove a pending invitation or remove someone who has already accepted, from the same place. Either takes effect immediately.

There is no notification to them and no negotiation. It is your session.

The patient rule, which is worth knowing

Removing someone from a session also removes their access to the linked patient record. But only if that was the last thing giving them access.

If you had shared two sessions for the same patient and you withdraw one, they keep the patient record, because the other session still needs it. Withdraw both and the patient goes with the second one.

This is deliberate. Without it, tidying up one old session would silently pull a patient record out from under a colleague who is still actively working from another.

Invitations expire on their own

Seven days, and then the link stops working. An expired invitation is not access and does not need withdrawing, though clearing it out keeps the list readable.

Good practice

Look at Shared by you occasionally. Shares accumulate quietly, and a session shared for a second opinion three months ago is usually one nobody intended to leave open.
