Editing an Existing Role

By default, permissions will open under the Management category.


Managing File Permissions

To adjust file-specific access:

  2. This will display all permissions related to estate files.

Within the Files category, you will see permission sections such as:

  • General File Permissions

  • Case File Access

  • Actions Within a Case File

  • Additional file-related subsections

Each section contains selectable permissions that can be enabled or disabled depending on the level of access you wish to grant.

You can:

  • Select permissions to grant access

  • Deselect permissions to restrict access


Saving Your Changes

After making any adjustments:

  1. Review your selections carefully.

  2. Click Save in the bottom-right corner of the page.

Your updates will apply to all users assigned to that role.


Important Notes

  • Changes made to a role affect all users assigned to that role.

  • Only users with appropriate administrative privileges can modify roles and permissions.

  • Always review permissions carefully before saving to ensure users have the correct level of access.
