Web User Roles

Updated: 10/09/2024|Views: 8623

System Administrators of accounts created after May 9, 2016 have the User Accounts settings option to assign Web User Roles. System Administrators of billing company accounts and accounts created prior to May 9, 2016 have both options: User Accounts settings and Web User Roles settings. The Web User Roles settings allow you to assign roles to users in the practice so they can access the web platform.

You always begin with navigating to the Web User Roles settings before creating, editing, unassigning, or locking a web user.

Navigate to Web User Roles

  • Click Settings > Web User Roles. User Settings opens.
    Note: For accounts created after May 9, 2016, click Settings > User Accounts.
    • To find a specific user, use the search box to enter their first name, last name, or email address.
    • To view users by a specific type, use the User Type filter and click to select "Provider" or "Non-Provider".
    • To view users by locked status, use the Locked Status filter and click to select "Locked" or "Unlocked".

Lock Web User

A non-provider user can be locked, making the practice(s) inaccessible to them, and can be unlocked at a later time if necessary. Before a provider user can be locked, all module subscriptions (e.g., Clinical, Billing) associated with the provider must be deactivated. Once the provider's module subscriptions have been canceled, the provider user can be locked.

  4. Click Submit. The user is locked.

Unassign Web User

A non-provider user can be unassigned, permanently removing them from the Tebra account as well as their access to the practice(s). To maintain the transaction history for providers, a provider user cannot be unassigned but can be locked.

  1. Navigate to Web User Roles then click Edit User. Edit (User Name) opens.
  2. Click Unassign User. The Unassign User pop-up opens.
