Removing Matter Participants
Only a company system administrator can remove a user who has special matter access. For all other participants, only a matter administrator can remove them from a matter. Company matter administrators can remove a company user or a firm user from the matter. Firm matter administrators can only remove users from their own firm.
A company system administrator or company office administrator can use Bulk Update to remove a user or firm from multiple matters at one time.
