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).

12. Click on Delete to remove access

 
During the client creation, the professional who creates with the client will be deemed the Primary professional; however, if a Support staff user creates the client. The Primary professional will default to the first Adviser/Professional in the practice.  This can then be amended by following the steps above. 
 

Should you wish to change the role of one of the team members who have access to the client, remove the staff users using the delete option and re-add them using the add staff option with a new role. We are looking at how best to manage role changes in the future and will continue to improve this function.
