Access roles help manage your team's permissions in the workspace, ensuring everyone has the right level of access for their responsibilities. These roles are divided into Admin Roles and Clinician Roles, each tailored to specific team functions.



Accessing Team Management Settings

To get started:

  1. Go to Team Settings

  2. Click on the Teams tab in your Heidi Health portal.

  3. If you already have a team, your members will be listed here.

  4. If you don’t have a team yet, you can create one.


Understanding Admin Roles and Clinician Roles

  • Admin Roles: These roles focus on managing the workspace, including team settings and administrative tasks. The Administrator has access to the team settings, and can use clinical tools.

  • Clinician Roles: The Clinician role is designed for healthcare providers who need access to clinical tools and documentation but don’t require administrative permissions.

By assigning roles thoughtfully, you can balance operational efficiency with data security and role clarity within your team.

  3. Turn it on or off as needed.

  4. Choose which users can access session notes (e.g., Administrators only).

  • You can add as many team members as needed.
