Nuance Management Center

Chapter 4: Configuring groups and user accounts
Configuring user accounts
Before users at your facility can begin using Dragon Client, you must create a user account
for each professional in the NMS Server, through the Nuance Management Center. When
one of these end users opens the Dragon Client, the server checks to make sure that the
userhas an account and a license associated with the account. After verifying the account
and license, the server checks the roaming user profiles Server to find a user profile for that
user(for more information, see Creating a user profile on page 92
A user profile stores acoustic information about the voice of the individual provider. Dragon
Client uses this vocal data to help it recognize what the useris saying.
If the user does not have a user profile, Dragon Client opens the New Profile Wizard,
where the user enters basic data, selects a medical vocabulary, and presses a button to
have the client create a user profile. If a user profile exists, the Dragon Client accesses that
profile and the user can begin dictating. If the provider's user profile is not associated with a
valid account or the account does not have a license assigned to it, the user cannot use that
profile to dictate.
The NMS Server lets you select the default language and accent that apply to creating a
user profile, though the user can change these settings in the wizard.
You can add or delete user accounts on the User Accounts ribbon. You can use this ribbon
to modify existing user accounts and to edit their settings at any time. If you have the
required security settings, you can also view the Dragon Client logs through the DM360
Network Edition Client Logs icon on the ribbon.
In Dragon Group, you can use a text file to import multiple users into an existing group. You
can also set the user account type and apply a license to each of the users you import. For
details, see Import multiple users into the NMS server on page 50.
Note: If you delete a user account, you can reassign the license associated with it to another
user account. See Managing licenses on page 77.
When you create user accounts, keep in mind:
n If a user account is a member of more than one group, you should be sure that the
group whose settings you want to take precedence appears first in the Group
Memberships > Selected Groups list for the user account.
n In most organizations, users should only be members of multiple groups because
they use both the Dragon Client and the Nuance Management Center. In this
instance, the person would be both a healthcare user and an administrator.
n Although it is less common, some users might belong to multiple groups.
Configuring user account details and address settings
On the User Account Details > Details and Address tabs, you store contact,
identification, and login credentials for a user account.
1. The Details tab displays the Organization associated with the user account that you are
creating.
