User
Definition
A user in Care is the staff account of a person who works in your organization. Doctors, nurses, and administrators sign in to Care with this account. A user account is separate from a patient record.
A user is closest to two FHIR R5 resources. Practitioner holds the identity of a staff member. PractitionerRole holds the role of a person in an organization. Care does not implement these as literal FHIR resources. The mapping is approximate.

Username and Email
You set the Username and the Email when you create the user. You cannot change them later. Select both values with care.
Responsibility Assignments
A user gets access through responsibility assignments. Each assignment joins a Responsibility with a Designation. The designation is the role that the person holds in that responsibility. You can add assignments when you create the user, and you can change them later from the user's profile page. For more information, see Roles and Permission.
Status
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Archived | The person cannot sign in to Care. Care keeps the history of the person. The user card shows a grey "Archived" badge. |
Care shows no status label for an account that is not archived. That person can sign in. Each user card shows one activity badge in place of a status:
| Badge | Description |
|---|---|
| Online | The person is active in Care now. |
| Last sign-in time | The time when the person last signed in, for example "2 days ago". |
| Never Logged In | The person never signed in to Care. |
| Service Account | The account is a service account, not a person. |
Only a Care superuser can archive an account. Care has no option to reactivate an archived account.
