The User Management page is used to add new users and assign their user role and client access rights across your practice. It can be found under your user profile menu in the top right.
User roles
These roles set some broad authorities as to whether a user can access and edit certain areas of the software. Multiple roles can be assigned to users with the idea being that once a role has been assigned, they'll be available for assigning in other areas. For example, if assigned a partner or manager role, the user can then be assigned these roles specific to a client entity.
| Practice Admin | User can access everything about the practice and clients along with assign access rights; Can also setup / disable all user types. |
| Partner | User can do most things that a Practice Administrator can, but can’t access Practice Settings and is unable to set up or edit Partner or Practice Administrator roles. |
| Manager | User can do most things that a Partner can, but can’t access Practice Settings and is unable to set up or edit Manager, Partner or Practice Administrator roles. The main purpose for this role is the ability to assign a user the manager role for a specific client entity. |
| Employee | User can only open and edit authorised client groups but is unable to delete anything, setup or edit users or edit practice settings |
