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 organization. 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 in the Search Users filter and clicking Go. If no user is found, you can create a new user account.
Fig. 2
To create a new account, follow these steps:
- In the header of the Search Users box, click New User
Fig. 3
- Fill in the required fields as indicated by an asterisk
Note: When selecting the User Role, there are six options: Physician, Patient, Admin, Advocate, Analyzer, and Scheduler. Select the one that best represents the user’s main responsibility within the organization regarding eVisit. Table 1 describes the functionality of each role.

The user will receive an email with a link that takes them to the registration page of their account where they will create a password and fill in any information needed to complete the process.
How to add practice roles
After creating the new user account, you can add practice roles 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. Table 2 lists and defines the functionality of practice roles.
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
Fig. 12
- At the bottom of the page click Add New Role
Fig. 13
- Click the arrow in the Role dropdown menu and select the appropriate role

How to assist the user
Users in your organization may contact you for help accessing and modifying their accounts.
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: A patient only has three options: Reset Password Email, Lock Access, and View User.
How to manage provider accounts
Table 3
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. |
Sometimes, you may need to modify a provider’s abilities in eVisit.
How to 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, meaning 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
Fig. 16
The change happens in real time.
How to 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 the organization's one, some, or all visit types. 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
Fig. 17
- At the far right of the appropriate practice row, click Add Membership
In the Choose Visit Type window, click Select an Option.
Fig. 18
- Select a visit type from the list presented (Fig. 19)
Note: Visit Type options vary from practice to practice. There may be only one option or many.
Fig. 19
- Click OK
A green banner will appear at the top of the screen, confirming the new visit type was successfully created.
