Staff members are employees who have not been entered as providers and will use Dentrix Enterprise. Before setting up staff members, consider the following:
Each staff member must be assigned a unique ID that is up to 10 characters in length. You can use initials, letters, numbers, underscores(_), and hyphens (-).
Staff members cannot be deleted but can be inactivated.
Wherever a staff member is displayed or printed in Dentrix Enterprise, it is usually only the staff ID that is seen.
Note: Editing a staff member requires the "Clinic Resource Setup" security right. If you are logged in as the staff member that you want to edit, editing your staff member information requires the "User Self Setup" security right. Changing the log-in credentials (ID and password) that the staff member will use to log in to Dentrix Enterprise requires the "Password Administration" security right.
To edit a staff member
In the Clinic Resource Setup dialog box, in the Staff list, select a staff member.
Click Edit.
If you are logged in as the staff member that you are editing, and if a message appears, informing you that you do not have rights to this operation, your user account has not been granted the "User Self Setup" security right. To have a user with permission temporarily override this restriction so you can edit your staff member information this one time, do the following:
On the message, click Yes.
In the Password - User Self Setup dialog box, the overriding user enters his or her credentials in the User ID and Password boxes and then clicks OK.
