Frequently Asked Questions
Have a different question and can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our support team by sending us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
- What is role-based access control (RBAC)?
- RBAC is a security system that restricts system access based on a person's role within your practice. Instead of granting permissions to individual users, you assign roles (like Dentist, Hygienist, Admin) with specific permissions, then assign users to those roles. This makes managing team permissions more efficient and secure.
- What default roles are included?
- Zermmi includes four pre-configured roles: Dentist (full clinical access), Hygienist (clinical access for hygiene procedures), Admin (administrative and billing access), and Assistant (limited clinical and scheduling access). Each role has sensible default permissions that you can customize.
- Can I create custom roles?
- Yes, you can create unlimited custom roles tailored to your practice's specific needs. Common custom roles include Office Manager, Treatment Coordinator, Lab Technician, or Regional Manager for multi-location practices.
- How do permissions work?
- Permissions are organized by domain (Patients, Appointments, Billing, etc.) and action type (Create, Read, Update, Delete). You can set each permission independently, giving you precise control over what each role can do. For example, a receptionist might have Read access to patient charts but not Update access.
- Is it compliant with HIPAA and privacy regulations?
- Yes, our RBAC system is designed to help you meet HIPAA and local privacy requirements. It includes comprehensive audit trails that track who accessed what data and when, role-based data access controls, and the ability to restrict sensitive information to specific roles.
- How does it work for multi-location practices?
- Multi-location practices can define global default roles and then customize them per location. Team members can be assigned different roles at different locations, and you can track all role assignments from a central dashboard. This flexibility allows each location to adapt to local workflows while maintaining consistent security standards.
- How long does it take to set up RBAC?
- Setup is quick and straightforward. The four default roles work out-of-the-box for most practices, so you can start assigning team members immediately. Creating custom roles takes just minutes, and you can adjust permissions anytime as your needs change. No technical knowledge required.
