The User Management section of Provider Automation allows you to manage active users. You can either update a single user at a time or manage multiple accounts at once.
User Profile Overview
A user profile contains basic and additional information about each user. To access it, click a user’s first or last name in the User Management section. Each user profile has 4 tabs:
- The General tab contains the user’s first, last, and middle name, email address, phone number, and the user’s role and access.
- The Additional Contact Info tab shows the user’s address, office and home phone numbers, and other contact info.
- The Employee Details tab displays the employee ID, title, and team/crew info.
- The Shifts tab shows assigned and unassigned shifts for this specific user.
Switch between the three tabs here below to see how the info is presented on each tab.
