Edit, Lock, or Unassign User Account

Updated: 08/15/2023|Views: 9423

System Administrators can edit user account information and permissions as roles change within your practice. If the user should no longer access the practice, delete or lock the user account. Deleting the user will permanently remove the user's access to the practice. Locking the user makes them inaccessible to the system and can be unlocked at a later time.

Access User Settings

  1. Hover over the User icon and click on Practice Settings. The Practice Settings page opens.
  2. Click User Settings. The User Settings page opens.

Edit User Account

  1. Click Edit to the right of the user's name. The Edit User page opens.
  2. Make any necessary changes to the user's account information:
    • E-mail: If necessary, enter an updated valid email address to allow the user to receive email notifications from Tebra (e.g., reset password, new messages, etc).
      Note: Once saved, the user will use the new email address to log into Tebra.
    • Password/Repeat Password: Enter a temporary password to allow the user to reset their password. The user will be prompted to create a new password upon login after the changes are saved.

Unassign User Account

Permanently remove a user's access to the Tebra account by unassigning their user.

After the user is unassigned, the user's email address is updated to include "archived_" to indicate the user has been unassigned. For example, chedwards@tebratest.com updates to archived_chedwards@tebratest.com. When applicable, the archived email displays in reports and audit logs to indicate the user account was removed.

  1. Click Edit next to the user's name. The Edit User page opens.
  2. Click Unassign User. The Unassign User pop-up window opens.
  3. Click Unassign User to confirm. The user is removed from account.
    Note: If the user has access to multiple Tebra accounts using the same credentials, only the current Tebra  account is removed. The user will still have access to their other Tebra accounts.
