New User Account

Creating a new user account allows application administrators to invite a new user and manage the information and settings for that account. This includes tools for locking user accounts or resetting passwords and ensures HIPAA compliance.

When you create a new user account, you will assign a security group to the user; the Kareo application is pre-configured with a default set of security groups. If you want to modify a security group or create a new one, see Edit Security Group or New Security Group.

 

To create a new user account

  1. Click Settings > Security > New User Account.

  2. When you have entered the information and selected settings, click Save.

  3. At the Reset Password window, enter a temporary password for the new user.

  4. Click Save.

 

  1. Email: Enter the user’s email address.
  2. User Role: Select a user role for the user.
  3. Name, Address, Phone: Enter the user’s name, address and phone number(s).
  4. Groups: Assign a security group to the user. Highlight the security group in the right column and click the top arrow to move it to the left.
  5. Practices: Assign a practice to the user. Highlight the practice in the right column and click the top arrow to move it to the left.
  6. Effective Permissions: View security group permissions (this is a read-only window). To change permissions for a security group, see sections Edit Security Group or New Security Group.
