# Role management
Path: Settings → Roles or Role & Permissions.
Defaults
Each role has module keys (patients, billing, finance, dental, etc.) with view/create/edit/delete flags.
Best practice
- Reception: patients + appointments + billing; no payroll.
- Nurses: clinical support without commission or subscription pages.
- Doctors: clinical + own schedule; limit finance to commissions if desired.
Changes apply on next login (permissions cached in JWT refresh cycle).
