Roles are layered: a base role (Doctor / Clinical staff / Non-clinical staff) plus granular permissions and optional admin overlays.

Invite a teammate - base role first, then granular permissions, then the optional admin overlay

Establishment → Role access → Invite. Pick the base role first — it sets the persona — then refine the granular permissions for that specific person. The invite is single-use and good for 14 days. The user activates with Google SSO or a magic link, never a password, so you cannot accidentally hand someone a credential that lives forever.

Personas - recipes that pre-check the right permissions. You can still tune individual checkboxes after.

Doctors can sign notes and prescribe. Clinical staff can chart, draft notes, and update clinical data — but cannot primary-sign. Non-clinical staff handle scheduling, intake, and documents — no clinical edits. The persona presets in the invite flow (Medical Assistant, Scribe, Front Desk, Billing Coordinator, Practice Manager, Patient Coordinator) are recipes that pre-check the right granular permissions for each — you can still tune individual checkboxes after.

The admin overlay

Add the Admin checkbox to anyone who manages the practice. Super-admin bypasses every check — use sparingly. Both overlays sit *on top of* the base role, so a Practice Manager who is also a Clinical Staff member can have both: clinical-staff capabilities by day, admin tools when reviewing the team roster.

Frequently asked questions

Can a scribe sign notes?
No. Scribes draft and the rendering provider primary-signs. Clinical staff (RNs/LPNs) can co-sign.
How do I deactivate someone the day they leave?
Establishment → Role access → … → Deactivate. They lose access immediately and their drafted notes are reassigned to a queue.
