You can edit information for user accounts in your organisation's database. User accounts provide secure access to your organisation's database. Each person who uses Dentrix Ascend should have his or her own user account.
Note: You cannot change a user's password (even your own) from the User Accounts page. A user can change his or her password by clicking (or tapping) the Forgot Password? link on the login page and following the instructions given or, if the person is logged in, by opening the My Account page and changing the password on the Change Password tab.
To edit a user account
How to get there
On the Settings menu, under Location, click (or tap) User Accounts.
The User Accounts page opens.
On the User Accounts page, select a user account.
Note: To quickly locate a user account, use the Search box to search for a user account by the user's last name, first name, user name, or email address. As you type your search criteria, the list of matching user accounts is updated automatically.
The options for editing the user account become available.
Change the user's information, such as the user name or email address, on the following tabs as needed.
Basic Info

To attach a picture, click (or tap) Select Image, browse for and select the image file, crop the image as desired, and then click (or tap) Apply.
Name - The first name, middle initial, and last name of the user.
Username - The name that the person must use to log in. Each user in your organisation must have a unique user name. Only letters and numbers are allowed; spaces and special characters are not. The maximum allowed length is 56 characters. Also, the user name cannot be "Admin" or "Administrator."
Email - The email address of the user. This is used for administrative purposes and is required for every user account.
Note: If you change a user's email address, Dentrix Ascend will send a verification email message to the user's original email address. That email will contain a link that the user must click (or tap) to verify that the new email address is correct.
Phone 1 - The primary contact phone number of the user (for example, a home phone number).
Phone 2 - The secondary contact phone number of the user (for example, a mobile phone number).
Is Provider - If the user performs dental procedures (such as a general dentist or a hygienist), set the switch to Yes. Otherwise, set the switch to No.
Inactivity Timeout - The length of inactivity (no interaction with the Dentrix Ascend website from your computer or device) after which Dentrix Ascend will log the user out automatically. The recommended length is 10 minutes, but there are also options for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 8 hours.
Note: If you have Dentrix Ascend open on multiple tabs of your browser at the same time, the inactivity is monitored on each tab separately. For example, if you open Dentrix Ascend on a tab and then later on another tab, continue working on the second tab, and then the first tab does not have any activity for the specified length of time, you are logged out of Dentrix Ascend automatically on that tab but can continue working on the second tab.
Roles & Locations
User Roles & Locations tab
Single Site
Multiple Sites
Do any of the following as needed:
If your organisation has only one location, to change the user's rights to your location, select a different User role. A user must be assigned a role for your location. The change will not take effect until the next time the user logs in to Dentrix Ascend.
If your organisation has multiple locations, to change the user's rights to a location, select a different User role for a selected Location. A user must have access to at least one location, and a user can have only one role assigned for each location. The change will not take effect until the next time the user logs in to Dentrix Ascend.
If your organisation has multiple locations, to add rights for the user to access a location, click (or tap) Add New Role, and then select a user role and a location (only unassigned locations are available for selection). A user can have only one role assigned for each location. The next time the user logs in to Dentrix Ascend, he or she will be able to access the selected location, according to the specified rights of the selected user role.
If your organisation has multiple locations, to remove rights to a location, click (or tap) the X button next to the Location that you want to remove this user's access to. Since each user must have access to at least one location, this button is available only if there is more than one role-location combination listed. The next time the user logs in to Dentrix Ascend, he or she will not be able to access the location that was removed.
Important: Your organisation's business owners, doctors, and office managers should be the only ones who have administrative security roles.
Important: The "Edit User" and "Create/Update Role" rights are required for at least one user in each location of your organisation:
-
At least one user in each location must be assigned a role with the "Edit User" right enabled.
-
At least one user in each location must be assigned a role with the "Create/Update Role" right enabled.
