How to manage household access in Lumiant [How-Tos]
We know that sometimes a client's adviser might change, or you need to set up a team to manage a particular household.
Lumiant has rolled out the ability to manage a household's access, allowing you to capture the client's primary professional (or adviser) responsible for a household and which staff require access to the client.
Managing household access will allow you to:
- set the Primary professional
- set a secondary primary professional if needed
- set other professional staff access and their roles
- capture who manages a particular household
- and what team members can access household data
Setting the primary professional is particularly important as this will determine who in the practice can access the client, what role they play and manage which adviser will be printed on the Best Life plan when exported (as seen below).
