Which master file stores records for users who log in to Hyperspace?

• A. User (EMP) master file
• B. Provider (SER) master file
• C. Patient (PAT) master file
• D. Encounter (ENC) master file

Answer: (A)

Access control and login authentication are managed by the User master file, often labeled EMP. This file stores records for every user who can sign in to Hyperspace, including user IDs, passwords, roles, and security permissions. The other master files serve different data: Provider (SER) holds clinician/provider details, Patient (PAT) stores patient demographics, and Encounter (ENC) tracks visits. So the User/EMP master file is the one that specifically contains records for users who log in.
