Who can do this: Owner/Super Admin for setup (settings.manage, branches.manage, services.manage, users.manage); Receptionist for front desk (patient.create, appointment.manage, queue.manage, billing.create); Practitioner for clinical work (encounter.write, rx.write, clinical.document.sign).
Where: Settings (/app/system-settings), Branches (/app/branches), Services (/app/services), Employees (/app/employees), Patients (/app/patients), Queue (/app/queue) or Appointments (/app/appointments), Clinical Documents (/app/clinical-documents), Billing (/app/billing).
