-===Zip Service===
-The Zip Service allows users to submit collections of files to a MIRC site, automatically producing one or more MIRCdocuments on the site. The Zip Service is a server-side implementation of a concept first proposed by Adam Flanders at the RSNA 2005 conference. The original motivation for the Zip Service was to provide an easy way to pre-load a new MIRC site with an existing collection of images organized into individual cases. While the Zip Service is useful in this context, it is also a very convenient way to produce a single MIRCdocument.
-See [[The_Zip_Service_User%27s_Manual|the Zip Service User's Manual]] for details.
-===Submit Service===
-===Manage Account===
-To gain access to more than the basic MIRC features, a user must have an account on the MIRC site. An account consists of a username and a password plus a list of permissions, which are called <b>roles</b>. Certain features require that the user possess a specific role related to the feature. For example:
-*To be authenticated on a MIRC Storage Service, the user must possess the Storage Service's <b>user</b> role.
-*To be allowed to submit a document to a MIRC Storage Service's Submit Service or Zip Service, the user must possess the Storage Service's <b>author</b> role.
-*To be allowed to create a document on a MIRC Storage Service's Author Service, the user must possess the Storage Service's <b>author</b> role.
-*To be allowed to make a document public on a MIRC Storage Service, the user must possess the Storage Service's <b>publisher</b> role.
-*To be allowed to access a MIRC site's File Service, the user must possess the File Service's <b>user</b> role. (This is a separate role from the one for a Storage Service.)
-Roles are granted to users by the MIRC site administrator.
-====The Login Button====
-The <b>Login</b> button on the query page authenticates a user, making the system aware of the user's roles.
-====The My Account Button====
-Once a user is authenticated, the <b>My Account</b> button on the query page provides access to the user's account, allowing the user to change the account's password.
-Additionally, if enabled by the administrator, this function also allows the user to create or join a <b>group</b>. A <b>group</b> is a <b>role</b> that can be created and given a password by a user. Other users wishing to join the group must do so by entering the group name and password on their <b>My Account</b> pages. MIRCdocuments that contain <b>read</b> permissions that include the group name are visible to all members of the group. This provides a way for a group of users to conveniently share a collection of documents without making the documents public.
