Administrator Groups

In this article:

Administrator Groups are a means of allowing visibility of all non-restricted Matters and Contracts within LawVu. Administrator Groups membership is limited to two roles:

Users in the Matter Administrator Group can see all Matters in LawVu, provided those matters are unrestricted. The Matters will appear in their All matters List. These people can preview a Matter or choose to Join matter.

Note: Restricting a matter limits its access to those named explicitly as Matter members, regardless of role, permissions, or admin group.

Users in the Contract Administrator Group can see all Contracts in LawVu, provided those contracts are unrestricted. The Contracts will appear in the All contracts List. These people can preview a Contract or choose to Join Contract.

Note: Restricting a contract limits its access to those named explicitly as Contract members, regardless of role, permissions, or group.

Users in the Time Administrator Group can see and amend all Time Entries submitted in LawVu. (This admin group is for organisations with the Time management module turned on.)

Users in the RFP Administrator Group can see all the org's RFPs and join one if they are not a member. (This admin group is for organisations with the RFP management module turned on.)

There are four types of administrator groups:

Administrators have visibility over the entire category. For example, a Matter Administrator can view all matters. This was formerly known as having "Can Access All Matters" permission.
