Got it, Epic-PLY is the playground version that comes with every Epic install. Sounds like they've restricted playground user roles as well, you'd need your hospital IT to change that in the playground environment.

There's a developer sandbox as well that's more feature rich but from what you're describing I doubt they would have enabled access for you although most hospitals do. I would ask someone in IT you know to either give you a superuser role in the playground or access to vendorservices.epic.com

You can't PM on here but my e-mail is in my profile. If you're hitting a dead-end shoot me an e-mail and I can add you to my developer playground to mess around with.

Ah, it's rather hard to find but I do indeed have Epic PLY, thank you for the information. I shall investigate. There may be more abilities there than I knew about.

Still, sad that I have to go to HN and actual tech workers in completely different places to figure out how to use a system that is nominally under control of my own hospital. I don't blame you for not giving doctors admin access; I don't need it and quite a few would make a total hash of things, but I'm a lot more curious and a nice free playground where I could do things like schedule cases would be fun. If I break it, so what? It will reset tomorrow, and I'm fine with that. If I have a play day, I'll apply my notes for everything I have done and ask the IT team to make a snapshot.

Again, thanks.

No worries. As an aside I'm not a tech worker I'm primarily a clinician as well so I don't make access decisions but if it were up to me I would give MDs more.

Some places are better, most institutions I've been at have given me full access because I have a tech background and had a previous relationship with Epic but occasionally I've hit similar brick walls to you.

Hope it works out.
