Category:Roles

There are four key roles associated with the PEAR portal:


  • An Organization Signatory is the officer or owner of the practice or provider organization who makes the PEAR portal access request on behalf of the organization at the Tax ID level.


  • An Organization Administrator is one of a maximum of two people at the provider organization who has unrestricted access to all licensed materials and license data including value-based arrangements delivered through the PEAR portal for your organization. Organization Administrators are responsible for provisioning access to the PEAR portal and its applications to End Users within the provider organization. Organization Administrators may create unlimited Location Administrators to manage PEAR portal access for one or multiple provider locations.


  • Location Administrators are portal users that manage PEAR portal access at one or more provider locations. Location Administrators can add, remove, or manage End User access for their designated location(s). Only the Organization Administrators can create Location Administrators. There can be unlimited Location Administrators.

    Together, both Organization and Location Administrators can create unlimited End Users. PEAR portal administrators are responsible for ongoing maintenance of PEAR portal access as required.


  • Portal End Users are those in the practice or facility that are granted access to specific PEAR portal applications and roles as defined by the Organization Administrator or Location Administrator. This can be multiple people within a practice or facility. 


The Provider Administration Tool (PAT) is used by Organization Administrators and Location Administrators to provision End Users with access to the PEAR portal and its applications, including designating roles within the PEAR portal.
