EMR User Profile Permissions

WebPT EMR User Permissions are found within the User Profile and allow users to access certain features and perform certain functions. EMR Users with Edit User permissions in the WebPT EMR can assign and audit user permissions for all EMR users. We recommend at least two EMR users have User Manager Edit User permissions. 

Using the User Manager Search a User Manager can evaluate or audit existing user profile permissions and update a User's Permissions. Additional EMR User auditing can be found in Analytics. You can also read more about Managing Users and Permissions for Large Organizations.

1. Click on the clinic name and select User Manager from the Clinic drop-down to open the User Manager.
2. Use the User Search Filter to apply any filters to locate the user or a group of users. Members with Analytics can also audit users using the User Management tool.

   

3. Click the Edit link next to the user name.
4. Select the Permissions drop-down in the Profile Permissions section or copy permissions from another user profile.
5. Select or deselect the desired permissions.
   

   Note: Any permissions not available to a specific user type will be grayed out.
6. Click Save User.
