# How to Configure Users as Staff so they can be Assigned as Patient Managers

## In order to manage patients, user accounts must be configured as Staff accounts in your organization. Once users are configured as staff, they can be assigned as Patient Managers.

Prior to this step, each staff member must create their own user account.  See [Getting started with aTouchAway® as a Clinician](https://help.aetonix.com/logging-into-the-atouchaway-app?hsLang=en)

Once a staff member's account is created, those with administrator permissions can access the accounts via the aTouchAway® Dashboards and assign Staff and Manager permissions.  

#### Assigning Staff to your organization

On the aTouchAway® Dashboards under **Group Management**, click ***Staff***.

Click ***Add*** at the bottom of the **Staff** page.

Search for the staff's user account by email address in the pop-up screen.  Type in their full email address as it was entered when they created their account.  Once you have found the user, click on their name, and click ***Done***.

![Add Staff search](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Add%20Staff%20search.png?width=608&height=137&name=Add%20Staff%20search.png)

Adding staff on this page will change the user's privileges from user to staff.  Their aTouchAway® App will have more features, and they can now be added to patient accounts as managers.  

#### Authentication Settings

To set Staff security settings for logging in and out of the aTouchAway® App, find the staff member's name on the **Staff** page and click the *Edit* icon to the right of their name.

Auto log out is recommended for shared devices.

#### Removing Staff Privileges

To remove staff privileges, go to the **Staff** page.  Click the *Remove* icon to the right of the user's name.  This will remove the user from the staff list and revoke any permissions associated with it.  It will not delete the user.
