Deep Dive: Team Member Permissions

Healthie offers you the ability to customize over 70 permissions and settings for each member of your team (including Support accounts). In this article we run through each permission, and best practices on incorporating this into your team's workflow. 

Accessing Member Settings

Within Healthie, admins have the ability to customize the experience/capabilities for each of your organization members. To access this panel of settings:

• Settings (top right) > Organization
• Scroll down to "Members" 
• Now you'll see all of your organization members, and can "EDIT" each one to customize their settings (or add a new member) 

Some suggestions for managing your members: 

• Sort your members by first name, last name, type of member (provider or support), and status (active or inactive)
• Drag & drop a team member to change their position in the listing
• Improved navigation of a team member's records (see any clients, chats, documents, program, packages, and more affiliated with their account) 

In addition, there are over 40 permissions that an admin can customize for each team member. Activate permissions for a team member by checking the corresponding box. 

Organization Member Permissions Templates

Healthie allows for organization admins to apply Permissions Templates to organization members, either when adding a new organization member or applying permissions to existing/current organization members.
