Creating Users and Providers in PnC
This article goes through the steps to create User and Provider accounts in PnC
New User Creation
- If possible, clone an existing user or template. Templates have a ZZ prefix
- Open the desired user/template and select the "clone" button
- Some, but not all, fields will copy over
- Name (non-copied)
- First, Last, and middle initial if available
- User Initials (non-copied)
- This will need to be unique, add numbering at the end if needed (ex. SS1)
- Username (non-copied)
- This is the user's NetID. Typically this is in the HelpDesk Ticket, but can be confirmed using this tool
- SSO Identifier (non-copied)
- This will be the @wisc for the user. Ensure this is accurate, otherwise the user will not be able to access PnC via Single Sign On
- Title (non-copied)
- This should be in the HelpDesk ticket, if unsure, you can reach out to HR or the new employees manager to confirm
- User Roles (copied)
- The user role(s) determines a person's access within the system, a user can have more than one role
- User Permissions (copied)
- For any permissions the user needs that are not included on the role(s), add them here
- Facilities (copied)
- In most cases, this will just be University Health Services. In the case of Physical Therapists, they will also need Rec Well
- Security Divisions (copied)
- This setting determines what information a user has access to see. If they don't have access to the security division, they cannot view content from that security division
- Ensure the user has access only to the areas they will be working in/with
- License Allocation (copied)
- Certain PnC features require a license which we purchase. The most common will be the ability to add Zoom links to appointments
Provider Creation
General Tab
- If possible, clone an existing provider or provider template. Templates have a ZZ prefix
- Open the desired provider/template and select the "clone" button

- Name
- First, Last, and middle initial if available
- For Medical Residents, add this at the end of the last name (ex "Sagers Medical Resident")
- Suffix
- Put any credentials in this field
- Abbreviation
- This is similar to the User Initials on the User record, good practice is to have them match (ex. SS1)

- Primary Security Division
- Default will be Medical Services, unless there is a more specific option where the provider will spend a majority of their time
- User

- If this provider will be prescribing (see Rx Tab section below), fill this out. Sometimes it will be in the HelpDesk ticket, you can also try looking it up here
- Note Signature Type
- For Students/Residents, use "Under Supervision - Trainee owns notes". Also specify who their supervisor is, this should be in the HelpDesk ticket. If not, reach out to who created the ticket
