User Management gives administrators the ability to add, edit, clone, deactivate and re-activate users. You can also edit roles/permissions. Lastly, you can download a list of users for auditing purposes and view the User Activity Log.

Figure 162 - User Management

Filters at the top allow you to filter users by practice(s), role(s) or status. The default shows only Active users and is sorted by Username. You can also type any criteria into the Search field, and it will automatically filter for users that match your criteria.

The listing of users includes the following columns:

• First Name
• Last Name
• Username
• Email
• Role
• Status
• Actions

The Bulk Edit feature lets you deactivate multiple users or send welcome emails at once. NOTE: When sending welcome email, each user will be forced to reset password upon receiving the welcome email.

Figure 164 - Bulk Edit

Both Send Welcome Email and Deactivate Users will confirm the user wants to perform this action to prevent accidentally deactivating or sending a welcome email to too many users.

Figure 163 - Deactivate Users Confirmation

The Download feature, lets you export the user list to CSV for audits. To add a new user, press Add New User. To edit a user, click the pencil icon next to the user.
 

Add New User

The Add New User dialog prompts you for the basic information on a new user including first and last name, email, mobile number, username, role, password, practice and reports. We require that each username be unique. You should also make the username unique across all environments (Prod, UAT, Demo, etc.) so that Okta single sign-on works properly.

The admin can assign a default password or choose to have the user create their own password on their first login. Additionally, if the admin wants the user to receive a welcome email with a link to PatientPay Admin, they can check this box. Otherwise, no notification is sent to the user upon account creation.

NOTE: The password must be at least 8 characters and contain at least one special character or digit.

Figure 165 - Add New User

If “Allow user to create own password” is checked, the first time they login to PatientPay, they will be prompted to create a password per our policy.

Figure 166 - New User Password Creation

NOTE: Any new user will remain in status Inactive until they login for the first time.
 

Edit User

By clicking the pencil icon next to a user, you can edit the user’s details. Press Save to commit your changes or Cancel to dismiss the dialog and abandon your changes. If the admin wants to send the user a welcome email to give them an easy way to login after account creation, they can check “Send welcome email” and press Save.

Clone User

You can use the Clone User button to clone an existing user and avoid user errors with configuring the Practices and Reports. You are required to enter a unique First Name, Last Name, Email, Username and Password before pressing Save.

Activate / Deactivate User

To disable a user from logging into the system, you can edit the user using the pencil icon and choose the Deactivate User button. If you ever want to re-activate them, choose the Activate User button. The user will receive a “Welcome to PatientPay” email with their PatientPay username and a link to activate their account. Our system will consider them Inactive/deactivated until they click that invitation and set up a password.

Managing Roles/Permissions

Users with the PatientPay System Administrator role can edit the roles/permissions including adding custom roles. This can be helpful in situations where user requirements are unique and outside the three default system roles: PatientPay System Administrator, Practice Administrator and Practice User. To edit roles/permissions, choose the Roles button from the main screen.

Figure 170 - Role Management

NOTE: Users are not permitted to edit the permissions of the PatientPay System Administrator role or give any role the Configuration permission.

The user has the following options on this screen:

Add New Role
This will create a new role. The role is given a default name but you are encouraged to give it a more descriptive name. Simple check off the desired permissions and press Save.

Clone Role
This will clone the existing roles permissions and create a new role. This is helpful if you want to customize one of the existing roles with unique permissions. The role is given a default name but you are encouraged to give it a more descriptive name. Simple check off the desired permissions and press Save.

Download User List

It is often helpful to export the user list for SOX audits that require evidence of access controls. The Download feature on the main user listing provides easy access to a CSV export of the users in your profile. For example, Practice Admins will only be able to export users that belong to their practice(s). To export your user list to CSV, simply select Download and CSV from the menu.

NOTE: The Download operation can take a few seconds to load so give it some time before the CSV will automatically download to your browser.

The downloaded file will be a comma-delimited (CSV) file with a header record in the first row containing the following columns:

• First Name
• Last Name
• Username
• Email
• Role
• Practices
• Reports
• Status

The Practices and Reports values will represent a pipe-delimited list of the practice and report names in the user’s profile. PatientPay System Administrators will have their Practices and Reports values blank representing all. The Status column will have a value of Active or Inactive depending on the status of the user account. All values will be enclosed in double quotes to preserve spacing and special characters. It may be helpful to load the CSV into a common application like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets for easier viewing.
