A CareApp role type indicates the member's access level to Customer profiles and CareApp features in relation to the Care Provider.
Site Coordinators and Provider Administrators select the CareApp role when inviting a new member to join their Site and community. They can also change existing Member's roles by going to their Members tab, clicking into a Member and changing the role on their account.
All Members of CareApp have one of the following role types.
