Note: the Power User role was previously called Practice Manager. The permissions are unchanged — only the name has changed.
The Power User role is designed for clinic owners and administrators who need to manage the team and organisation settings without necessarily recording their own sessions. It sits between a Practitioner and the account Owner in terms of permissions.
Power User is available on the Professional plan and above.
What a Power User can do
Manage the team — add members, resend pending invites, change roles, apply tags, and remove users from the organisation
Manage organisation templates — create, edit, and share templates across the team
Access Clinic Setup — manage organisation settings including integrations, tags, and preferences
What a Power User cannot do
Cannot access account billing
Cannot change the total number of seats on the account (but can add members to the clinic if the current seat count allows)
Cannot transfer account ownership or change another user's role to Owner
Cannot delete the organisation or cancel the subscription
Cannot record sessions or generate notes by default (the Owner can enable this)

How to assign someone the Power User role

Find the user in your members list
Change their role to Power User — the change takes effect immediately
You can also assign the Power User role when adding a member — select it as the role before sending the invite.

Note on billing access
Billing is controlled by the account Owner only. Power Users cannot view or change billing.
