Each user belongs to a **permission group** that decides what they can see and do. Dentolize comes with ready-made groups such as **Owners**, **Doctors**, **Reception**, **Nurses**, **Accountant**, **Inventory** and **Manager**.

Go to **Settings → Permission Groups**.

## ➕ Create or edit a group

Click **New Permission**, or a group to edit it:

1. Enter the **Name**, a **Description** and a **Group Color**.
2. To start from an existing group, click **Copy from Group**.
3. Go through the tabs on the left (**Data**, **Patients**, **Settings**, **Inventory**, **Treasury**, **Analytics**…) and tick the permissions:
   * **View All:** see all records. **View Created/Assigned Only:** see only records they created or are assigned to.
   * **Add New**, **Edit**, **Delete / Disable / Merge.** Edit and Delete need one of the View boxes first.
4. Click **Submit**.

A few useful permissions on the **Data** tab:

* **Phone Numbers:** untick to hide patients' phone numbers.
* **Hide Operation Prices.**
* **Allow only one day in dashboard range date.**
* **Download Data** and **View patients for branches with access only.**

<Tip>
  Click **Test** on the groups list to try the system with a group's permissions, then **Reset Permissions** to go back.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  Saving a group **logs out** all its users. The **Owners** group has every permission and can't be edited; adding a user to it asks for your password.
</Warning>
