1. A pharmaceutical storage and retrieval system comprising: a housing including a gantry assembly,a user access assembly, anda user authorization system; anda controller operatively connected to the gantry assembly, the user access assembly, and the user authorization system, the controller including a computer having a computer readable medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause the controller to, read a user credential via the user authorization system,read a unique identifier on a prescription order to determine a container needed to fill a prescription on the prescription order,associate the user credential with the unique identifier, andtransmit an instruction to the gantry assembly to retrieve the container and position the container in the user access assembly;wherein the user access assembly comprises a first port and a second port, and wherein the first port receives the container from the gantry assembly; andwherein the first port includes a base having a first slot and a second slot, a first member configured to follow the first slot and a second member configured to follow the second slot, and wherein the first member and the second member are biased to a first position, and wherein the gantry assembly applies force to the first member and the second member to move the first member and the second member away from their respective first positions to insert the container into the first port. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the user credential is a RFID tag. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein the user access assembly comprises a door assembly having a front door moveable between an upper position and a lower position and a rear door moveable between an upper position and a lower position. 4. The system of claim 3 wherein the rear door is in the upper position when the front door moves to the lower position to provide access to the first port. 5. The system of claim 4 wherein the front door moves to the lower position after the user authorization system has read a user credential and the computer associates the user credential with the container in the first port. 6. The system of claim 4 wherein the housing further includes a shelving assembly, and wherein when the rear door is in the upper position, the shelving assembly cannot be accessed via the first port. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein the first member and the second member are configured to adjust to retain pressure on the container and to maintain the container in a predetermined position in the first port. 8. The system of claim 7 wherein when the container is in the predetermined position in the first port, the gantry assembly is configured to retract the container from the first port. 9. A pharmaceutical storage and retrieval system comprising: a housing including a gantry assembly, anda user access assembly, anda controller operatively connected to the gantry assembly and the user access assembly, the controller including a computer having a computer readable medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause the controller to, read a unique identifier on a prescription order to determine a container needed to fill a prescription on the prescription order, andtransmit an instruction to the gantry assembly to retrieve the container and position the container in the user access assembly;wherein the user access assembly comprises a first port and a second port, and wherein the first port receives the container from the gantry assembly; andwherein the first port includes a base having a first slot and a second slot, a first member configured to follow the first slot and a second member configured to follow the second slot, and wherein the first member and the second member are biased to a first position, and wherein the gantry assembly applies force to the first member and the second member to move the first member and the second member away from their respective first positions to insert the container into the first port. 10. The system of claim 9 wherein the user access assembly comprises a door assembly having a front door moveable between an upper position and a lower position and a rear door moveable between an upper position and a lower position. 11. The system of claim 10 wherein the rear door is in the upper position when the front door moves to the lower position to provide access to the first port. 12. The system of claim 11 wherein the housing further includes a shelving assembly, and wherein when the rear door is in the upper position, the shelving assembly cannot be accessed via the first port. 13. The system of claim 9 wherein the first member and the second member are configured to adjust to retain pressure on the container and to maintain the container in a predetermined position in the first port. 14. The system of claim 13 wherein when the container is in the predetermined position in the first port, the gantry assembly is configured to retract the container from the first port.
