• Service: An account type designed for use with Dual Commit, WebEOC Nexus Fusion, or the API, it cannot be used to log in to WebEOC Nexus.

  Dual Commit is deprecated and is no longer supported.

• Service as Administrator: In addition to having the same properties as the Service account, this account additionally allows users to perform the administrative API functions.

Single-User or Multi-User Accounts

This feature is included only in earlier versions of WebEOC Nexus and might not be available in your system.

WebEOC Nexus user accounts can be configured as either single- or multi-user. You can configure an account as single- or multi-user when you create a new account or edit an existing account.

Multi-user accounts allow more than one user to be simultaneously logged in with the same username and password. Single-user accounts allow only one person to be logged in at any given time. If a user attempts to log in to a single-user account, another user sees an error message on their main menu and is automatically logged out of the account.

If you are ever logged out of the system by another user, contact your WebEOC Nexus administrator for assistance.
