  2. On the "Roles & Permissions" page, click on "Add User".
  3. The "Add User" screen will appear.

    On this page, you'll have to select: 

    • The Email ID from the drop-down menu: note that the Full Name and Office will automatically populate. Remember, this must be an already existing user added through the master settings.
    • The Status (Active or Inactive): active status gives the user access to the client after the changes are saved, while an inactive status does not
    • The various Roles & Permissions; check the box next to each of them to activate/deactivate:
      • Admin (Select if this user will have administrative capabilities for this client)
      • Accruals Submission (Select if the user can submit unbilled activity to this client)
      • General file sharing (Select if the user can share general files with the client)
      • Matter file sharing (Select if the user can share matter files with the client)

Note that you can click the three-dot Actions menu next to each user to Edit a user's permissions or Deactivate the user.
