Security Roles


Security Roles are a collection of Security Permissions. The Site Admin can assign a Security Role to a User to grant the necessary Permissions to do their job. There are six predefined Roles. These Roles can be modified to affect all Users with that specific Role. New Roles can be added to meet the needs of your practice.  

Predefined Roles

  1. ADMINISTRATOR: Has complete System access, including all features and settings. This is the only Role that can manage Users and Permissions.
  2. BILLER: Has access to all billing-related functions, but does not have access to certain administrative tasks such as User Maintenance.
  3. FRONT DESK: Has full access to Patient, Guarantor, and Scheduling functions, with limited permissions for accepting or recording Payments.
  4. PROVIDER: Has access to all Reporting tools and limited functionality within Patient, Guarantor, and Scheduling areas.
  5. SCHEDULER: Has full access to Patient, Guarantor, and Scheduling functions, with limited permissions for Payments and Reports.
  6. VIEW ONLY: Can view Patient, Guarantor, and Scheduling information but cannot make any changes.
