Very helpful.

Now how does this method relate to some earlier discussion that I captured on the wiki page (link below). There had been an idea of adding to the login window a "workplace profile" but was maybe Hilmar's the last word when he "voted for not adding another field to the gnumed dialog"?

Meaning maybe workplace selection is defined by whichever config file was specified (if other than the default).So would the idea change to be able select a config file from a login window popup field, would that be seen as useful but low-priority?

Lastly Hilmar mentioned

        existing infrastructure (roles bound to users)

... does this mean there is a current or future-planned implementation that depends on a value for public.staff_role to control or assist workplace definition
