# Reporting user permissions

A brief explanation of SP main app user roles, and some examples of checking in the code. See detailed permissions explanation on [Team member roles and access levels](https://support.simplepractice.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052700171-Team-member-roles-and-access-levels).

### Account Owners
An acount owner is a customer who owns the practice. Every account owner is a clinician with administrator access, but not all clinicians with administrator access is an account owner.

##### Checking in the code:
```ruby=
user.is_owner?
```

> When it comes to reporting, if you are already allowing clinician_admin access, you don't need to allow owners too, once every owner is a clinician_admin.

### Clinicians with administrator access
A clinician with administrator access is self explanatory, he is a clinician but he can also have access to admin features.

##### Checking in the code:
```ruby=
user.clinician_admin?
```
### Clinicians with full client list access
A clinician with full client list access, has permission to see other clinician's data besides his ones.
##### Checking in the code:
```ruby=
