About Assistant Accounts

Not sure whether to create an assistant account for a new team member? Here’s everything you need to know to make the right decision.

Assistants do not:

  • Own or manage clients. They merely manage the practitioners who own the clients.
  • Have their own booking calendar.
  • Own appointments.
  • Own email templates.
  • Own form templates or headers.
  • Own forms completed by clients.
  • Own notes or note templates.
  • Have their own dashboard.
  • Have their own notification permissions:
    • When an assistant edits the notifications in More → Settings → Notifications, they edit the notifications for the practitioner they are currently managing, as well as the notifications for other assistants managing that practitioner.
    • SMS Notifications do not pertain; SMS notifications are not available to assistants.

Where do Assistants appear in records?

  • When an assistant adds staff comments to a client profile, the comment is attributed to that assistant.
  • When a task is assigned to an assistant, the task record reflects their name.
  • When an assistant sends a form and adds an optional message, the assistant's name shows as the message sender.
  • When sending a client a message in the client portal, the assistant's name appears to the client.
  • When signing an Office Use Only field or a Witness field on a consent form, the assistant's name appears.

What can Assistants control?

  • If an assistant manages the admin/owner and they have the admin role, they will have admin-level access, but only when managing the admin. This access will be limited in the following ways:
    • The assistant will not have admin-level access when managing a non-admin practitioner.
    • The assistant will still not be able to manage the admin's More → Account page, and therefore will not see certain tabs. For more information about how the More → Account view varies by account, click here.
  • Assistants can view and edit the following in More → Account:
    • Their name, email and password
    • Their Two-Factor Authentication method
    • Their Adopted Signature
