      Roles and Permissions Guide

      A complete, page by page breakdown of every level of access that each role grants.

      AngelTrack uses "role-based access control". Employees are granted access to AngelTrack's various features via belonging to roles. Each role confers access to certain features.

      An employee can belong to any number of roles, even all of them.

      AccessBadge

      Permissions Always Held by All Employees

      At all times, all active employees (but not Onlookers) can do any of the following:

      • Use the timeclock and view one's personal timecard
      • View and re-view announcements which are targeted at them, or which are targeted at "Everyone".
      • Clock-in or out, if one's computer or mobile device is connected to a company-owned network
      • Use the incident system to:
        • Submit a new incident;
        • View any incident which is:
          • assigned to me,
          • submitted by me and not assigned to anyone, or
          • submitted by me and marked ☑ Always readable by the submitter.
        • Edit any incident which is:
          • assigned to me, or
          • submitted by me and not assigned to anyone.

      ☑ Provisional

      Membership in the Dispatcher, Biller, Lieutenant, and Captain role can be granted provisionally: the role can be exercised only when connected to a company-owned network. That is to say: Provisional role membership grants no privileges while the employee is in the field, or is logging in from home.

      AngelTrack determines that an employee is connected to a company-owned network by consulting the Timeclock Hosts List, which is the list of internet IP addresses of company facilities. When the employee's computer or mobile device is connected to one of the networks in that list, their provisional role memberships take effect.

      If you do mark an employee as provisional, then make sure they understand that they will receive various "Access denied" error messages if they are accessing AngelTrack on their mobile device when they leave the office.

      Movi integration

      Because provisional dispatcher accounts are restricted to company-owned IP addresses, they cannot be used for Movi integration or for the third-party CAD API. When Movi or a third-party CAD connects to AngelTrack via a provisional dispatcher account, AngelTrack will refuse the connection, and note it as a failed logon attempt in the employee's logon history.

      ☑ Call-taker

      Call-takers have the following privileges:

      • Create new dispatch records.
      • Create new facility records, as part of creating new dispatches.
      • Create new patient records, as part of creating new dispatches.
      • Edit existing patient records' basic demographic data, and the billing data for the current checkpoint.

      If someone with call-taker access is also a crew member, then AngelTrack will grant them all the privileges of Self-Dispatch PCR mode, allowing them to fully self-dispatch even if Self-Dispatch PCR mode is not otherwise active. In other words, the call-taker role is a way of granting Self-Dispatch PCR mode access to individual crew members, rather than to all crew members companywide. To learn more, read the Self-Dispatch PCR Mode Guide.

      ☑ Administrator

      • Add and remove employees from the HR role
      • Add and remove employees from the Administrator role
      • View and change all of AngelTrack's configuration settings (under the Settings page)
      • View and add AngelTrack license keys

      If you want to know whether you have Administrator access, do the following:

      1. Click on the Supervisor Home icon in the top ribbon.
      2. From the sidebar, select the Employees List link.
      3. Find your record in the list. If you have Administrator access, you will have a check-mark in every role. Or you can click your record, switch to the "Roles" tab, and see its individual privileges.

      ☑ ★ Principal

      Members of the Principal role can do just three things, all of them critical:

      1. Sign the Terms of Service document, binding your company and AngelTrack LLC in the agreement
      2. Alter your retail prices, which are used in many places including the amounts claimed against insurance carriers
      3. Use the Bulldozer to perform bulk moves of dispatches forward or back in the postprocess workflow

      No other role is permitted to do these three critical things; not even Administrators. But these are the only privileges conferred by the Principal role.

      Only the staff of AngelTrack Headquarters Technical Support can add or remove employees from the Principal role. Normally this role is assigned only to the proprietor, or to the managing partner, or to the general manager. Nobody else should have these privileges.

      How to change the designation of Principal employee

      If you wish to change the designation of Principal employee, then send an email to AngelTrack Support, using the support email address shown on your server's Support page.

      In the email, specify the name of the new Principal employee and also the name of your AngelTrack server. AngelTrack Support will then call the main dispatch office number configured in your AngelTrack server, and ask the dispatcher for confirmation that the person is indeed the new boss, and then make the necessary change in your employee records.

      ☑ Onlooker

      The Onlooker role is for city and state officials who require real-time oversight of your units, and for hospitals and nursing homes who wish to download completed run reports for trips to and from their location. By issuing them an onlooker account, they can login to your AngelTrack server and pull the relevant data.

      To learn more about the Onlooker role, read the Onlooker Guide.

      ☑ Medical Director

      Members of the Medical Director role can access the Medical Director Review Queue and perform medical reviews of completed runs, as required by your city and state health regulations. Naturally, your medical director can perform this task remotely over the internet, from home or work or mobile.

      When each review is completed, it subsequently appears at the bottom of the QA Review Form.

      Medical directors can also use the incident system and the timeclock. They are not targetable by announcements, except via their membership in other security roles.

      ☑ Doctor

      Members of the Doctor role can be selected as the attending doctor in a telemedicine call. The role confers no other privileges.
