Roles and Permissions

This section describes how administrators set up users and their permissions. For users setting access levels when sharing a folder with other users or groups, see Setting Access Levels When Sharing a Folder.

A user can have one of three roles:

There is no limit to the number of admins or co-admins.

Admin

An admin can:

  • Manage users (add, deactivate, reset two-factor authentication, edit information), set user roles (admin, co-admin, member), and manage groups
  • Determine user settings to give access to upload, request to extract, and view or edit the clause library.
  • Define user tags and labels (which users can then use on the documents they have editor or collaborator access to).

An admin cannot access a document unless a user with editor or collaborator access shares that document's folder with the admin.

An admin cannot manage users provisioned using Single Sign-On (SSO). Users thus provisioned are managed by the SSO administrator.

There are three permission settings for each user:

  • Upload: When this setting is enabled, a user can upload files to the system. When it is disabled, a user—even one with editor-level folder access—cannot upload files to the system.
  • Request to extract: When this setting is enabled, a user can upload files to extract and can request store-only files to be extracted. When it is disabled, a user cannot upload files to extract and cannot request store-only files to be extracted. Users can still upload store-only files if the upload setting is enabled for them.
  • Clause library: With this setting, a user can be given view-only access or edit access to the Clause Library or can be denied access.

Co-Admin

A co-admin can do everything an admin can do, except manage users and groups.

Note:

Admin and co-admin roles do not give access to any documents in the system. Like members, admins and co-admins can only access documents that have been shared with them. See Setting Access Levels When Sharing a Folder to learn about sharing and access levels. Admin and co-admin roles only help manage users and application settings.

Member

A member user has no admin or co-admin privileges to manage user access or settings.
