About users

Users are the individuals who have been granted access to use Legal Enterprise. Administrators create users in System Security by building up user accounts for each person. User accounts store all the information that defines a user such as, user name and password, e-mail address, login company, etc.

Once created, users must be allocated to a user group in order to log into Legal Enterprise. User groups control what areas of the system users have access to, even down to which tabs and menus they see. In addition, a number of user-level permissions must also be assigned to users, relating to more specific aspects of usage such as, which daybook they use and which fee earner they work for. These permissions are grouped into accounts and general permissions. The accounts permissions can be set in either System Security or Accounts Maintenance, the process is the same.

User accounts can be modified at any time and any changes made are automatically reflected in the user group to which they have membership.
