Manage Users
Location: Account >> Manage Users
Account Administrators have full control over an account's settings and users. Account Administrators can also remove other administrators and users from cases or the account, and only Account Administrators can alter user permissions.
Creating New Users in an Account (Account Administrators Only)
1. From the Account tab select Manage Users.
2. Select the account for which you want to add a new user (all accounts to which the Account Admin has administrative rights are listed on the left side of the screen).
3. Click the white + icon located in the upper right corner (hovering over the icon will display the "Create New User in Account" text).
4. Enter the user's email address, and, if desired, enable Two Factor Authentication (enabling Two Factor Authentication provides an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their accounts with a verification code after entering their password. Leaving this option unchecked allows the new users to simply login with their email address and password).
5. Click Add User.
By default, users are assigned a "Standard" user type when added to an account; however, this can be updated anytime by following the steps in the next section.
The user will receive an email from a "noreply" email address with a link to set up a password. First time users must accept the Lexbe License Agreement the first time they log in, but will not have to accept it on subsequent logins. See the Login Page Help Page for information on logging in and setting a password. NOTE: New Users will not be able to log in until they have been assigned to a case. Please see the information below.
Assigning a User Type and Adding and Removing Case Access
1. Once the new user has been added, the Account Administrator should immediately assign the user to a case. The user will not be able to log in until a case assignment is made. From the Account >> Manage Users page, select the account from the list on the left.
2. Locate the user whose case access or User Type you wish to update, and then click the row with their username to open the Edit User screen.
3. From this screen Account Admins can assign the user certain permissions via the User Type dropdown, enable or disable Two Factor Authentication, and control case access (all cases associated with the account are listed on the right).
To change a user's permission levels, click on the User Type dropdown and select the desired User Type.
To change the user's Case Access, click the checkbox next to the desired cases to grant access. Click to uncheck the checkbox to remove case access.
4. Click Update to save any changes and exit the Edit User screen. Click Cancel to go back to the previous screen without making any changes.
