Orthanc User Access & Management, 2FA

Hi there,
I’ve got a stable instance of Orthanc running with studies flowing into the instance, which is great!

I’m now wondering what I can do next… can I build a user access management layer where I can add different user types (admins, clinical users, etc) with different permissions, different usernames, and passwords, and add 2fa for access?

Thank you,
Kyle

You can do pretty much anything you want. The things you mentioned( user access management layer where I can add different user types (admins, clinical users, etc) with different permissions, different usernames, and passwords, and add 2fa for access) have already been done in our system built on top of Orthanc. Hit me up if interested.

Hi Kyle,

There’s unfortunately nothing straightforward right now to implement User Access & Management.

For 2FA and login, you should probably run KeyCloack or something similar (BTW, if you happen to make it, please share your findings, I’m also interested). Then, once you are authenticated, you might “forward” your users to various Orthanc configured differently e.g like in this sample.

If you need resource level access control, it gets even trickier but you can get inspiration from this sample.
