Removing Matter Participants
Matter administrators can remove participants from a matter. Users with delegates can change their delegates' matter access regardless, of matter role.
note
You cannot remove access for a user the company designated as a lead on the matter. Contact the company and request that the new lead user be assigned to the matter.
To remove a delegate's matter access, follow the same steps as to remove a direct matter participant.
note
When you change the matter access for one of your delegates in the matter, it automatically changes the matter access for all your delegates in that matter. For example, you have two delegates with Matter Administrator roles in your matters. You want to remove access for one of the delegates on a particular matter. If you remove access for one delegate, your other delegate will also be removed from that matter only.
Required role
