Adding a user profile
Providers are set up from the User access and permissions window. Access to this window is managed by the organization’s user administrator.
From the New User window, you can enter the information needed to create a new user account. You can give each new user a role, which allows the user to have certain permissions and perform certain actions in the system. You can also assign the user to one or more work locations.
-
From the User access and permissions window, select New user.
The New User window is displayed.

Enter the user's First Name, optional Middle Name, and Last Name.

This is the username, which is displayed in various areas of the Provider Portal.

Optionally enter the user's email address info@mydomain.com.
The user's login credentials are emailed to this address. The user’s email address must be different from the one indicated at the time of registration. If no email address is entered, then the login credentials are sent to the email associated with the billing number.
The email address you enter when setting up the account cannot be the same one that is used to identify the provider. By default, the email address you used to set up the account is displayed, but it must be overwritten. For further information, see Removing a user's email address
