Phin Agent Access Configuration

Overview

The Phin tab in your organization dashboard allows admins to configure which Phin AI agents are available to organization members. This is an access control panel, not a conversational assistant.

What is Phin Agent Access?

Phin Agent Access is a configuration panel where organization admins can:

  • Enable or disable all Phin features for the organization

  • Control which AI agents members can access

  • Configure premium feature access

  • Set model selection permissions

Accessing Phin Settings

  1. Sign in as an organization admin

  2. Navigate to Organization

  3. Click the Phin tab

  4. View and configure agent access settings

Note: The Phin tab only appears if Phin features are enabled for your organization.

Master Killswitch

The most important control is the Master Killswitch at the top of the page:

Setting

Description

Enable Phin for Organization

Master switch to enable/disable ALL Phin features. When disabled, the Phin tab is hidden and no members can access any Phin agents.

When the master switch is off:
- The Phin tab is hidden from members
- No Phin agents are accessible
- All other Phin settings are disabled

Global Settings

When Phin is enabled, you can configure these organization-wide settings:

Premium Agent Access

Controls whether your organization has access to premium agents:
- Session Assistant
- Encounter Assistant
- Order Entry (Labs)
- Order Entry (Imaging)
- Order Entry (Referrals)
- CPT Reviewer
- Billing Assistant

- Agentic EHR Execution

Enable for All Organization Members

When enabled, automatically grants premium agent access to all organization members without individual configuration.

Can Select Model

Controls whether users can choose between AI models (Haiku, Sonnet):
- Enabled: Users can select their preferred model
- Disabled: Locked to Haiku 3.5 for cost control

Enable All Agents (*)

A convenience toggle that grants access to all current and future agents:
- Enabled: Wildcard () access to all agents
-

Individual Agent Access

When "Enable All Agents" is disabled, you can configure access to specific agents:

Making Changes

Editing Settings

  1. Click Edit settings in the top right

  2. Make your desired changes

  3. Click Save changes to apply

  4. Or click Cancel to discard changes

Changes Take Effect Immediately

Once saved, configuration changes apply immediately:
- Members gain or lose access to agents instantly
- No need to notify members or wait for sync

Best Practices

Start Conservative

  1. Begin with minimal agent access

  2. Enable specific agents as needed

  3. Monitor usage before expanding

Cost Control

  1. Disable "Can Select Model" to lock to Haiku 3.5

  2. Only enable premium agents if needed

  3. Review agent usage periodically

Security Considerations

  1. Only enable EHR-connected agents if you have active EHR integration

  2. Review which agents have access to patient context

  3. Audit agent access when members leave

Common Questions

Why don't I see the Phin tab?

The Phin tab only appears for organization admins when Phin features are enabled for your organization. Contact support if you expected to see it.

Can members change their own agent access?

No, only organization admins can configure Phin agent access. Members use whatever agents are enabled by their admin.

What happens if I disable an agent someone is using?

The agent becomes unavailable immediately. Any in-progress interactions may be interrupted.

How do I know which agents my members are using?

Currently, agent usage analytics are available through support. Contact us for detailed usage reports.

Troubleshooting

Settings Won't Save

  1. Verify you have admin permissions

Agents Not Appearing for Members

  1. Verify the master switch is enabled
