To provide details about the provider, do the following:

  The selected provider is automatically selected for the user upon authenticated logon at runtime. Select a provider only if you want the user to always be associated with the assigned provider— for example, an assistant who works only with a specific surgeon.
  
  Note: If your practice uses Provider Approval Queue (PAQ), you must select an assigned provider for each applicable user. The providers in this list have been selected as rendering providers on the Practice tab in the Provider master file within the same enterprise and practice as the user you are adding.
2. Provider Relationship. Select the type of relationship between the user and provider.
  
  Note: If your practice uses PAQ, you must select the appropriate provider relationship for each applicable user. If the user needs to use PAQ, enter their name in the name fields, and set Provider Relationship to Self.
3. If the relationship was temporary, enter the start date and end date of the relationship with the provider.

  Note: The allowable characters are determined by global password requirements.
To configure the password settings, do the following:
- User can change password. Select this check box to allow users to change the password.
- Force new password at next logon. Select this check box to force the user to select a new password the next time they log on.
- Password expires. Select this check box if your company's policy requires the user's logon password to be changed on a regular basis. Then, in Password Expires, enter the date that the password will expire. This date overrides the global expiration date.
In Members, select any additional groups that you want the user to be part of.

Note: The list contains only the groups within the user's practice. The group you are placing the user in is already selected.

To enable a general user to enter medication, laboratory, and diagnostic orders for the eligible provider,
1. Select the corresponding check boxes in the Credentialed Staff section.

Note: Credentialed staff cannot set up providers. The Credentialed Staff options on the window are disabled when credentialed staff try to set up a user with the Self provider relationship.
To limit the user's access to patient information, set up the user's Inclusion/Exclusion List.

The system assigns an ID to the user. This ID appears in the User ID field the next time you view this user's details.
