System Administrators of billing company accounts and accounts created prior to May 9, 2016 can assign a user account role to each user created in the Desktop Application (PM).

There are several preset user account roles offered:

Administrator: Full control and access to account and practice wide functionality.
Biller: Access to most billing and collections functionality.
Billing Manager: Access to all billing and collections functionality, practice reports and settings, and accounting options.
Office Manager: Access to patients and scheduling, scheduling templates and practice settings.
Practice Administrator: Available for billing company accounts. Full control and access to practice wide functionality.
Provider: Access to most practice wide functionality and some account management functionality.
