Hey guys, DR Atai from Hello Smile is asking if they have permissions to create users at OD. I remember that there was an open ticket few days ago, not sure if anybody sent them a guide about how to create new users, and if they have the required permissions to login to the server

I know Luz has super admin rights in some offices. Regarding CEMT access - same thing, just depends who has the rights. They should be able to do the same thing in CEMT from any PC I believe - we don't have a guide for them though o.o

I have the ticket, haven't finished that guide yet since I was out a few days, I'll see if I can get it done today, not sure if they need to be specifically on the server to do that, I think any pc should be fine, as long as the right user is logged into CEMT

Tech B 2024-04-29 19:14

yes I believe this is the case

Tech A 2024-04-29 19:14

Yep, If they have the permissions they should be able to do that from anw WKS, that's true

# Grant Open Dental user creation permissions through CEMT

## Problem
A client office requested guidance on creating new users in Open Dental and needed confirmation of their permissions to perform this task. The office was unsure if they had the required administrative rights and whether they needed to access the server directly or could perform user creation from any workstation.

## Resolution
1. Verify the client has super admin rights in Open Dental - some offices have designated users with these elevated permissions
2. Confirm CEMT (Central Enterprise Management Tool) access for the appropriate user account
3. User creation can be performed from any workstation in the network, not just the server, as long as the correct user with administrative permissions is logged into CEMT
4. Provide the client with a user creation guide specific to their Open Dental setup

The specific permissions and access levels vary by office configuration. Administrative users with proper CEMT access should be able to create new users from any connected workstation.
