Adding and Removing users or groups from a role

Purpose

This guide explains how to add and remove users or groups assigned to a role in Practice Protect.

If Practice Protect is connected to Microsoft Entra ID using the Legacy Method, or uses Active Directory/LDAP for user authentication, you can also assign or remove directory users and groups from a role. Practice Protect retrieves the available users and groups from the connected directory, allowing you to manage their role assignments.

Important: Removing a user or group from a role only removes their assignment to that role in Practice Protect. It does not delete the user or group from the connected directory. However, removing the assignment may affect the user’s application access or any policies associated with the role.

Prerequisite

  • Administrator access to Practice Protect
