Settings & Permissions Module

Turn Access to Sensitive Legal Information into Precise Governance Based on Role and Responsibility

Legal Affairs contains files with different sensitivity levels, and not every user should see all cases, documents, or financial data. The absence of clear user and permission management also weakens accountability.

The module manages users, roles, departments, sections, access permissions, and actions available to each role, along with reference settings and notification channels enabled within project scope.

  • Add, disable, and update users.
  • Define roles, groups, and permissions.
