Hi, Sorry, I’m forgetting that this module is still under development (and not actively) and may not be fresh out of your mind. Yes that is what I did by inspecting http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/session In there I can find the provider role information: <roles> <role> <uuid>8d94f280-c2cc-11de-8d13-0010c6dffd0f</uuid> <display>Provider</display> ... </role> ... </roles> So SessionInfo is populated from /ws/rest/v1/session.

@hpardess you would need to add providers from a screen like this: https://demo.openmrs.org/openmrs/admin/provider/index.htm
