​​PEAR portal roles

December 21, 2020

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 portal for your organization. They are responsible for provisioning access to the portal and to each application, as applicable, within the portal to end-users within a provider organization.

  • Location Administrators are assigned by the Organization Administrator and manage PEAR portal access at one or more provider locations.

  • Portal End Users are people in the practice or facility who are granted access to specific PEAR portal applications and roles as determined by the Organization Administrator or Location Administrator. For application-specific End User roles, see below.

After the organization is enrolled, designated Organization and Location Administrators within a provider practice or facility will utilize the Provider Administration Tool (PAT) to support them with provisioning access to End Users for the portal and its applications. Administrators can see more on the Provider Administration Tool section of the PEAR ​Help Center​.​
