Decoda uses role-based access control to manage what each staff member can see and do. Every user is assigned a role, and each role has a set of permissions drawn from the modules listed below. Admins automatically have all permissions. When you change a role’s permissions, the update applies immediately to every user with that role. For instructions on creating and editing roles, see Users, Roles & Permissions.

Finding a permission

The permissions tab for a role can be long. Use the search box at the top of the tab to narrow it down — type any part of a permission’s name or its description (for example, “invoice”) and the list shows only the matching permissions. Groups with nothing that matches are hidden while you search. Clear the box to bring the full list back. While a search is active you can still switch individual permissions on and off. The group-level and “All Permissions” switches turn back on once you clear the search, so they always apply to the full list rather than to a filtered subset.

Access

Control cross-location data visibility.

AI Features

Control access to AI-powered tools and assistants.

Analytics

Access analytics dashboards and reports.

Appointment Checklist

Control who can complete each appointment checklist step from the Patient Status panel and patient sidebar. Without the matching permission, a staff member can see a step but can’t mark it done.

Billing

Manage charges, invoices, and payment processing.

Clock In

Manage clock in/clock out and time tracking.

Downloads

Control ability to download and export files.

Clinical

Access clinical documentation, gallery, and e-prescribing.

Commissions

Manage commission structures, reports, and provider payouts.

Forms

Access form submissions and management. Staff with View Form Submissions can still open submitted forms and use form filters, even if they cannot view or manage form templates.

Inventory

Manage inventory and adjustments. Staff with View Inventory but not Manage Inventory can open the inventory screens and see stock, suppliers, shipments, and purchase orders, but the actions that change them — add, edit, archive, transfer, drawdown, and the like — stay hidden. Creating and editing the catalog items themselves — products, packages, medications, and gift cards — is separate. Those live under Settings - Catalog below.

Insurance Carriers

Manage the saved carrier and plan catalog.

Labs

Access lab orders and results. Without View Labs, the patient’s Labs tab is hidden. It appears only for clinics with lab ordering turned on.

Loyalty Points

Adjust patient loyalty points.

Memberships

Access membership management.

Messaging

Manage SMS, calls, emails, and patient communications.

Medications

Manage medication dose records. Creating, editing, and deleting doses are now separate permissions, so you can let a staff member add doses without also letting them change or remove existing ones.

Notes

Create and manage clinical notes and documentation.

Patients

Manage patient information and records.

Reviews

View patient reviews and how they’re collected.

Role Management

Manage roles and permission assignments.

Scheduling

View and manage the calendar, appointments, shifts and blocks.

Settings

Manage workspace configuration.

Settings - AI Assistants

Configure AI assistants and automation.

Settings - Catalog

Manage catalog items (products, packages, medications, gift cards). These used to be part of Manage Inventory, so a role that had it keeps all four. Splitting them out means you can let someone receive shipments and adjust stock without also letting them change prices in the catalog — remove the ones they don’t need.

Settings - Developers

Manage API access and webhook configurations.

Settings - Email

Manage custom email domains for sending emails.

Settings - Organization

Manage organization-wide settings and configuration.

Sign-off

Approve and sign off items.

Tag Management

Manage organizational tags for categorizing roles and users.

Tasks

Manage tasks and assignments.

Usage

View system usage and billing information.

Users

Manage employees and user accounts.

Whisper

Internal team chat.
