✨ When You Need This Guide

Use this guide if you're asking:

  • How do I add a new user to Aloha?

  • Can we have multiple logins?

  • How do I assign someone as an Admin or Staff?

  • Where can I update a user’s email, username, or password?

  • How do I remove a user from our system?


What This Covers (And What It Doesn’t)

✅ Covers:

  • Adding, editing, or deleting users

  • Email vs username login setup

  • Assigning roles (Admin vs Staff)

  • Managing user access by location

🚫 Doesn’t Cover:


🔑 Who Can Use User Settings?

🛡️ Only Practice Admins have access to the User Settings tab.
Staff members cannot add or manage users.


👣 How to Access the User Settings

  1. Log in to Aloha as a Practice Admin.

  2. Click “Users” from the left-hand side menu.

  3. You’ll see two sections:

    • System Users – active users in your account

    • Pending Users – invited users who haven’t completed registration

Each user will also show:

  • Their Role (Admin or Staff)

  • Location Access (if your account has more than one location)


➕ Adding a New User

  1. Click the “Invite New +” button in the top-right of the System Users section

  2. Fill in:

    • First and Last Name

    • Email or Username (see options below)

    • Role (Admin or Staff)

  3. Click “Invite” to finish setup


✉️ Option 1: Login via Email

  • Select “Yes” when asked to use an email

  • The user will receive an email with a link to set up their password

  • Until they complete registration, they will remain in Pending Users

🔐 You can’t reuse the same email address for multiple users


🔤 Option 2: Login via Custom Username

  • Select “No” when asked to use an email

  • Create a unique username (must not be taken by another user in Aloha)

  • Aloha will generate a password for you to give directly to the user

  • You can update the password later in the Edit screen


🧑‍⚖️ User Roles & Access

Role

Access Level

Practice Admin

Full access to all Aloha settings, vision portal credentials, user management, and locations

Practice Staff

Can view patient info, run eligibility searches, and use the Sales Tool. Cannot access user settings or admin features

📍 For multi-location practices:
Admins have access to all locations.
Staff can be assigned to specific locations by toggling them on/off in their profile.


✏️ How to Edit an Existing User

  1. Click “Edit” next to the user’s name

  2. You can update:

    • Name

    • Email or Username

    • Phone number

    • Password

    • Profile image (click the pencil icon)

    • Location access (Staff only)

  3. Click “Save Changes” when done


🗑️ How to Delete a User

  1. Click “Delete” next to the user’s name

  2. Confirm deletion to revoke their access from Aloha


🎉 You’ll Know It Worked When:

  • Your new or updated user appears in the System Users list

  • They receive an invite email or are provided login credentials

  • They can access the correct tools and locations
