# Roles & workspaces

> Who can do what in Nimo, and how the app is organised into workspaces.

Nimo gives each person the tools their job needs — and hides the rest, so the
app stays calm. Two ideas make this work: **roles** and **workspaces**.

## Roles

Every team member has one job role:

| Role | What they do |
| --- | --- |
| Doctor | Writes notes and prescriptions, orders labs, runs the consult |
| Nurse | Records vitals and procedures |
| Pharmacist | Manages pharmacy stock and dispensing |
| Lab technician | Handles lab results and sample collection |
| Front desk | Check-in, scheduling, and billing |
| Admin | Non-clinical business administration |

Separately, one or more people are marked as a **practice owner**. Owner isn't a
job — it's an extra capability layered on top of any role, granting control over
billing, the team, and practice settings. A solo doctor is usually a Doctor who
is also the Owner.

Owners manage the team from **Clinic settings → Team**: add a member with a role,
and optionally tick "Also a practice owner".

## Workspaces

The app is grouped into four workspaces, each with its own colour. Switch between
them from the avatar menu (top of the screen):

| Workspace | For | Where |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Home | The day's clinic work | Dashboard |
| Books | Money — bills and revenue | Billing |
| Labs | Lab results | Lab orders |
| Pharmacy | Stock and dispensing | Pharmacy |

You only see the workspaces your role uses. Labs and Pharmacy are hidden entirely
for practices that don't prescribe (like physiotherapy, psychology, and
naturopathy).

## Finding your way around

- The **Action Bar** (bottom on mobile, side on desktop) holds the current
  workspace's tasks, plus **Me** for your personal settings.
- The **avatar menu** is the clinic-wide hub: switch workspaces, and reach
  clinic settings like Practice, Templates, Team, and Billing.

Rule of thumb: *personal things live under "Me"; clinic-wide things live in the
avatar menu.*
