User Account Roles

Updated: 10/26/2023|Views: 5951

System Administrators of billing company accounts and accounts created prior to May 9, 2016 can assign a user account role to each user created in the Desktop Application (PM). Assigning a user account role automatically applies a pre-defined permission set to the user. You can customize each user account role or create new user account roles at any time.

There are several preset user account roles offered:

  • Administrator: Full control and access to account and practice wide functionality.
  • Biller: Access to most billing and collections functionality.
  • Billing Manager: Access to all billing and collections functionality, practice reports and settings, and accounting options.
  • Office Manager: Access to patients and scheduling, scheduling templates and practice settings. 
  • Practice Administrator: Available for billing company accounts. Full control and access to practice wide functionality.
  • Provider: Access to most practice wide functionality and some account management functionality.
  • Scheduler: Access to most patient and scheduling functionality.

You always begin with navigating to Manage Roles before creating, editing, or deleting a user account role.
