Owners and admins decide who can use the care team workspace and what they can do. Everything happens on the Team page, which only owners and admins can see in the menu.

The Team page listing six members with their role, two-factor status and last sign-in, and an Invite staff button.

Invite someone

  1. Open Team and select Invite staff.
  2. Type their Work email.
  3. Choose a Role. A short description of the role appears underneath.
    The Invite staff dialog with the Role list open, showing Owner, Admin, Carer, Viewer and Family member.
  4. Select Send invitation. You’ll see Invitation sent to … and they appear under Pending invitations.
Pending invitations showing an email address, the role, who invited them, when it expires, and Resend and Revoke buttons.
  • Invitation links work once and expire after 7 days. If someone missed it, select Resend: this sends a new link and the old one stops working.
  • Invited the wrong address? Select Revoke, then Revoke invitation.
  • If you see Invitation saved, but the email couldn’t be sent., wait a moment and select Resend.

Check who has set up two-factor

Each person shows a badge:

  • 2FA on: set up and working.
  • 2FA not set up: required for their role but not done yet. They’ll be asked to set it up at their next sign-in and can’t see records until they do.
  • 2FA not required: viewers and family members.

The last column shows their last sign-in, or Never signed in.

Change someone’s role

  1. Find the person and open the role list next to their name.
  2. Choose the new role.
  3. Read the confirmation, for example Make Tom Patel an admin?, and select Change role.
    A confirmation dialog asking to change a team member's role, with Cancel and Change role buttons.

Moving a viewer to a care role means they’ll have to set up two-factor authentication before they can use the dashboard again.

Remove someone from the team

  1. Select the ⋯ button at the end of their row, then Remove from team.
  2. Select Remove from team to confirm.

They lose access straight away. Their Kinto account isn’t deleted and you can invite them again later. Remove leavers on their last day.

A confirmation dialog: Remove from the team? They lose access to this care workspace straight away.

Reset someone’s two-factor authentication

Use this when someone has lost their phone and their recovery codes.

  1. Check it’s really them asking: in person, or by calling them on a number you already have.
  2. Select ⋯ on their row, then Reset two-factor.
  3. Select Reset two-factor to confirm.
    A confirmation dialog: Reset two-factor authentication? It removes their authenticator app and recovery codes and signs them out on every device.

This removes their authenticator app and recovery codes and signs them out on every device. Their badge changes to 2FA not set up, and the next time they sign in they set it up again. If Reset two-factor is greyed out, that person hasn’t set up two-factor authentication yet, so there’s nothing to reset.

Rules that keep your home in charge

  • An organisation always needs at least one owner. To remove or change the last owner, make someone else an owner first. You’ll see An organisation needs at least one owner. Make someone else an owner first.
  • We recommend two owners, for example the registered manager and the provider’s nominated individual, so one can help the other.
  • Review the Team page every month, and whenever someone leaves.

The audit trail

Audit trail, below Team in the menu, lists who changed what and when: residents added or edited, doses recorded, observations and their NEWS2 score, incidents moved on, tasks completed or cancelled, handovers signed, alerts dismissed, and sign-in, two-factor and team events. Each entry names the person, the record, the resident it belongs to and the fields that changed. It never shows the clinical content itself.

  1. Select Audit trail in the menu.
  2. Use the menu at the top right to show one area, for example Medicines (MAR) or Incidents.
  3. Select a resident’s name to open their profile, and Show more for older entries.
The Audit trail page listing who signed handovers, cancelled a task, added a task and moved an incident on, with the fields changed.
