Access Control in eHealth Services

As described in previous pages, the services and data in the eHealth Infrastructure are protected by authentication and authorization based on tokens. Described here is how services in the eHealth Infrastructure rely on fields in the access token to perform access control. This access control comprises Role role-based access Control (RBAC) and Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC).

Role-Based Access Control

The RBAC part of the access control is based on the user’s list of process privileges contained in the access token.

Access Token Field

Meaning

Example Value

Access Token Field

Meaning

Example Value

realm_access

List of process privileges, that is, what is the user allowed to do.

"realm_access": {

    "roles": [

       "Patient.read",

       "Patient.write"

    ]

  }

What operations the user is allowed to invoke is stated in the "realm_access" attribute. In the example above the user is allowed to issue a "Patient.read" and a "Patient.write". This means that the user can get and edit patient records. This part of the security model is the RBAC part, as the claims here are entirely based on what role the user has.

Attribute-Based Access Control

The ABAC part of the access control combines the access token user type with security token context(s) and, at times, also the access token user id. These are typically compared to attributes of the data from the services.

Access Token Field

Meaning

Example Value

Access Token Field

Meaning

Example Value

context

List of items that are set in context. context in combination with items in realm_access governs the access to all resources in the eHealth infrastructure.

"context": {

    "organization_id" : "https://fut.com/fhir/Organization/1",

    "care_team_id": https://fut.com/fhir/CareTeam/4,

    "episode_of_care_id": https://fut.com/fhir/EpisodeOfCare/10,

    "patient_id": "https://fut.com/fhir/Patient/8"

  }

user_id

Id of the user. Can be either an FHIR patient Id, FHIR practitioner Id or a KeyCloak ID

"user_id": " e03ccef7-b0b1-4f68-8e16-6fc2f865a922"

user_type

Can be either SYSTEM, PATIENT, PRACTITIONER or SSL

"user_type": "PATIENT"

Each resource type (see IG Profiles) has certain restrictions to what context is required to allow data retrieval or data manipulation. 

PlanDefinition/ActivityDefinition

These resources are not patient-related. Read and Search operations do not require any security context apart from the privilege.

When searching for tasks based on careteam, it is possible, but not necessary to specify restriction categories. If they are not specified as search criteria, then they will be inferred from the privileges in the security token.

If a search is based on a specific userID instead of a CareTeam, then all tasks related to that user will be returned regardless of the restriction category.

It is recommended to search based on either a userID or a Careteam. It is technically possible to combine these two search parameters, but the results may be confusing.

REGULAR SEARCH:

To perform a regular Patient Search, the user MUST have the Patient Context.


LIMITED SEARCH (Dashboard Search):

It is also possible to perform a patient search with a CareTeam Context instead of a Patient Context. In that case, the patients are then retrieved from EpisodesOfCare and CarePlan objects that the CareTeam is involved in.

NOTE: The patient resources that are returned from this search are limited and as such only the following information is returned:

  • Identifier

  • Date of Birth

  • Gender

  • Cpr

  • Deceased status

  • Home address

  • Official name


*R - THE CONTEXTS ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, AS SUCH IF BOTH CONTEXTS ARE PROVIDED IN THE TOKEN, ONLY THE PATIENT CONTEXT IS USED.

Patient.write

R







1: FHIR operations "create" and "update" are not available on the Patient resource. 
(use $createPatient and "patch")

2: Only certain attributes are allowed to be patched using HTTP PATCH

For non-group appointments:

1: If an appointment involves a patient, then that patient must be in context

2: The appointment can be read if

  • the user has a Care Team in context that is participating in the appointment

  • the user is participating in the appointment (as a Practitioner or Patient)

3: Searching

  • PATIENT users can search all Appointments that involve the user itself

  • PRACTITIONER/SSL users can search all Appointments that involve the user itself, or the Organization/CareTeam/Patient in context

If the message has a restriction category X, the corresponding RestrictionCategory.X role must be present in the realm_access list.

1: PATIENT users can read

  • communication where they are either the sender or recipient

2: PRACTITIONER and SSL users can read 

  • communication where they are either the sender or recipient

  • communication where the CareTeam in context is the sender or recipient

3: Only SYSTEM users can read communication from DEVICE senders

Communication.write





U



1: Communication must have exactly one sender and one recipient

2: Communication with the category "note" can only be created/patched/deleted if user = sender and (recipient = sender or recipient = a CareTeam). 
(notes can be shared with any CareTeam)

3: PATIENT users 

  • can only create/delete "mesHTTP" communication where they are the sender, and the recipient is of type CareTeam

  • can only patch "message" communication where they are sender or recipient (the recipient can patch "received" property)

4: PRACTITIONER and SSL users 

  • can only create/delete "message" communication where the sender is the CareTeam in context and the recipient is of type PATIENT or type CareTeam

  • can only patch "message" communication where the CareTeam in context is the sender or recipient

Only requires the role “Person$match”

Used to lookup person data by CPR, including name and a patient reference, if one exists.

This is only a read operation and will not create any resources.

The operations are audit logged.


Group Appointment

A “Group appointment” is an Appointment with one of the profiles http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition/ehealth-group-appointment, http://ehealth.sundhed.dk/fhir/StructureDefinition/ehealth-group-videoappointment

  • Appropriate appointment-related realm_access.role is required for all operations

  • SYSTEM users have access to all data and http operations regardless of context

    • Only SYSTEM users can use PUT, other users must use PATCH to change a group appointment

  • Create

    • All Practitioner/SSL users can create group appointments if they have an Appointment.write role and a CareTeam in context

      • assigning-careteam extension on participants must match CareTeam in the context

  • Read/Search

    • ehealth-creator, ehealth-responsible and ehealth-performer can see all parts of the appointment, regardless of the CareTeam context

    • All Practitioner/SSL users can read/find all group appointments and view all parts of it, except Patient participants whose assigning-careteam differs from the CareTeam in context, and the RelatedPersons of those

    • Patient users can only read/find group appointments that they are participants in, and can view all parts, except other Patient participants and RelatedPersons of those

  • Patching

    • Patient users cannot patch

    • When adding/removing a participant, the relevant assigning-careteam must be in the context

      • Removing a Patient/RelatedPerson participant is also allowed if the relevant patient is in context

    • ehealth-creator and ehealth-responsible can patch all parts of the appointment

    • ehealth-performer can patch all parts of the appointment, except ehealth-responsible

    • All other Practitioner/SSL users can only add/remove Patient/RelatedPerson participants

Note on Patching a Partial View

Please note that due to the filtering of participants, in some scenarios a client holds only a partial view of the appointment (with some participants missing due to security filtering).
This has an impact when removing a participant in a PATCH using an index, e.g. [{ "op": "remove", "path": "/participant/0" }]. What is in index 0 of the partial view, might not be what is actually in index 0 in the full version of the resource.
The server is aware of this dilemma and “maps” indexes when receiving an HTTP patch request, based on the JWT user_id/context used for the request. The server assumes the patch request is performed by the same user_id/context as the patch content indexes were constructed from.

This means that PATCH operations should be performed with the same JWT as was used when reading the group appointment resource that the patch content (indexes) is based on.
