Features give your users more access in addition to their base role (or set of roles). Ensure that each user has at least one user role assigned before adding features or they won't be able to log into the Kipu EMR. Exceptions include the Manage Shift Reports and Manage Group Sessions features, these can be assigned to users without a base role assigned.
Note: Kipu does not recommend giving the user features that are already included in their base role(s). The table below contains the description of each feature Kipu offers, as well as what roles (or features) this feature is already included in. We also do not recommend giving any features with "manage" in the name to external users.
