Adding Firm User

Each user must have a unique primary email address to be able to access the system. When you add a new user, Legal Tracker immediately sends an email to the new user with instructions on how to log in and set up the account.
Required role | To be able to add a new user role, your system role must be Firm Administrator or Firm Office Administrator.

note
It is important to note that, once you create or modify your firm's data, it is automatically updated in all your clients' systems. It does not matter which company database you are using. For example, if your firm is working with three clients on Tracker and you create a user, that user is now available to be given access to matters in all of your clients' systems. In other words, you update once and Tracker simultaneously changes the data in all client databases.
