Changing User Roles

Only admins can change user roles:

  1. Click Users in the firm sidebar
  2. Find the user whose role you want to change
  3. Click the role dropdown next to their name
  4. Select the new role
  5. Confirm the change

Role changes take effect immediately.

Best Practices

  • Limit admin access - Only give admin access to those who need to manage the firm
  • Use viewer role for clients - If you invite clients to view documents, use the viewer role
  • Review permissions regularly - Periodically audit who has access to what
