Feature Overview:
To ensure medical accuracy and safeguard patients, we’ve introduced a user-level access control for approving critical or abnormal reports. This restricts report approvals to only authorized users with the Critical Report Approval permission.

What’s New?
Why this change?
Previously, any user with Edit Report access could approve reports — even those with critical findings. This posed a risk. Now, only users explicitly granted permission can approve critical reports.
New Permission Added:
Permission Name:
Critical Report ApprovalWhere it's configured: Under User Access Management → User Roles → Lab Access
How It Works?
Permission Logic:
| Scenario | Edit Report | Critical Report Approval | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allowed | Yes | Yes (default) | Can approve all reports |
| Blocked | Yes | No | Can approve only non-critical reports |
| Blocked | No | No | Cannot approve or edit any report |
⚠️ Note: If the user doesn't have Edit Report access, the
Critical Report Approvaltoggle is disabled and cannot be enabled.
