Groups

What is this feature?

Groups are lists of multiple users. They are a collection for assigning identical privileges and access permissions to certain libraries, workspaces, folders and documents to the group members. For example, if a group has access to a document, the users in the group can access the document.

When does this feature help me?

This feature enables you to add users to a group and provide access to documents. Before providing group access to documents in a library, create the group in the library, and then add the relevant users to this group.

Where can I find this feature?

Navigate to the Access > Groups.

Roles

When does this feature help me?

Roles enable you to organize privileges and functions selectively across your organization. For example, a role named Developers can be created and will have each of the privileges granted or denied to fit their function within the organization. All users assigned to the Developer role will have the same set of privileges.

Custom Fields

When does this feature help me?

You can use this feature when customer wants to map their set of metadata to the existing custom fields, and also add values to the custom fields so that they can use these values from iManage Work clients.

Can you list the custom fields exposed by iManage Control Center?

Custom1 through custom30. Additionally, custom1/custom2 and custom 29/custom30 each have parent-child relational table (subtables). That means, custom1 can have many aliases directly associated from custom2. For example, if custom1 is Client, and the client is Microsoft, then custom2 could be matters, such as litigation, mergers, acquisitions, Human resources, and Intellectual property cases.
