Roles & Permissions
Last updated 24 April 2026
The Clinic Portal uses a role-based access system. The Owner always has full access. Other staff members have permissions set by the owner.
Roles
Owner
The account that claimed the clinic listing. Owners have unrestricted access to all portal features, including billing, staff management, and security settings. There can only be one owner per clinic.
Manager
Managers have broad access but cannot:
- Manage the subscription or billing
- Change the owner's security settings
- Delete the clinic
Receptionist
Receptionists can manage appointments, view patient information, and communicate via chat, but cannot access financial or staff management sections.
Staff
Staff have the most limited access. The owner or manager sets their exact permissions when inviting them.

Important: Changes to permissions take effect immediately. The affected staff member does not need to log out and back in.
