User Management in the Administrative Console
Creating new users and managing user profiles for your organization is a vital part of your role as a CustomerAdmin. In this guide you will learn how to:
Create a New User Account
One of the most important things you will do as a CustomerAdmin is to create new users for your practice. It’s a best practice to verify that the user is not already in the system before you create their new account. You can do that easily by entering the user’s Email, Last Name, or Cell Phone number and clicking Go. If no user is found, you can create the new user account.
To create a new account, follow these steps:
- In the header of the Search Users box, click New User
- Fill in the nine required fields as indicated by an asterisk
Note: When selecting the User Role, you have six options: Physician, Patient, Admin, Advocate, Analyzer, and Scheduler. Select the one that best represents what the user’s main responsibility is within the organization regarding eVisit.
User Role |
Basic Functionality |
Physician |
|
Patient |
Patient of the practice |
Admin |
|
Advocate |
|
Analyzer |
|
Scheduler |
|
Note: The new user will fill in their Date of Birth, Sex, Last Four Numbers of the Social Security Number, and Password fields the first time they log in to their account.
- Click Create User
Add Practice Roles
After creating the new user account, you will need to add a practice role to the user’s profile. Practice roles provide members with the permissions needed to use the administrator console effectively, and members can have different roles assigned to them at different practices. Every person, including physicians, admins, and schedulers, must be assigned a practice role.
Follow the steps below to add a practice role to a user’s account.
- In the top-right corner of their profile page, click Edit User
- At the bottom of the page click Add New Role
- Click the arrow in the Role menu and select the appropriate role

- In the Practice field, begin typing the practice name – matching practices will display
- Choose the appropriate practice
If a user needs to be associated to multiple practices, click Add New Role, then repeat the steps just shown to select another role and practice. - Click Update User to complete the process
Assist the User
Users in your organization may reach out to you for help with accessing and modifying their account.
To access available support tools:
- Search for and select a user account
- Click Edit User
The user’s role will determine which options are available to you. The table below displays all the available options.
Note: There are only three options for a patient: Reset Password Email, Lock Access, and View User.
Manage Provider Accounts
Option |
Use to |
Disable Reports |
Remove access to report privileges from a user. |
Reset Password Email |
Reset a user’s password. Confirm the user has access to the email you have on file. If they don’t, ask for a new email and add it to their user account. Click Reset Password Email. A confirmation message will appear. Click Send Email. |
Lock Access |
Unlock a user’s account. After three unsuccessful login attempts an account will lock.
A user account can be locked to prevent the user from logging into their account. For example, if a user will be on leave temporarily, their account could be locked while they are gone. |
Deactivate |
Deactivate a user - user accounts cannot be deleted in eVisit. Instead, they are deactivated. A deactivated account will be signaled by the word “_deactivated” in their email: i_am_provider_deactivated@evisit.com |
Make Unavailable |
Change a provider’s availability to “unavailable”. |
View User |
Return to the user’s account. |
From time to time, you may need to modify a provider’s abilities in eVisit.
Enable and Disable Scheduling
As a CustomerAdmin you can control whether a provider can set their availability for seeing scheduled visits. By default, this is set to disabled which means the provider will not be able to set their availability and will only be able to conduct See Now visits.
To enable scheduling:
- Search for and select a provider
- On the right side of the page, click Enable Scheduling
The change happens in real-time.
Add Memberships to a Provider’s Profile
An organization may have more than one visit type, for example you can create Urgent Care, Primary Care, Lab Review and Medical Follow-Up visit types. A user can have a membership to one, some, or all visit types in the organization. Add visit type memberships to a provider’s account to enable them to see patients who request that specific visit type.
To add a visit type membership to a provider’s account, follow these steps:
- Search for and select the user
- Click Practices & Memberships
- At the far right of the appropriate practice row, click Add Membership
In the Choose Visit Type window, click Select an Option. - Select a visit type from the list presented
Note: Visit Type options vary from practice to practice. There may be only one option or many. - Click OK
A green banner will appear at the top of the screen confirming the new visit type was successfully created.
