List of Allowed Users and List of Excluded Users

To view the list of Allowed Users and Excluded Users:

You can view the list of Allowed Users and Excluded Users.

  1. For Allowed Users, in the Clients dashboard, 
    1. Select anywhere on a client group row to navigate to the Matters tab for that client group. Select the Reports tab. The Allowed Users tab appears, by default.
      Alternatively
    2. In the row of the client group, select

       > Reports.
      You can view the list of all users who have access to the client group. 

      NOTE:

      Users are listed only for the client groups that are 'Restricted'. For client groups with 'Open' security policy, a general text "All users have access unless they are excluded." is displayed. To view the list of excluded users, click View Excluded Users.

      NOTE:

      In case of matters that are Restricted but can have users over and above the client group staffing (that is, when client group security is Restricted and "The staffing of Matters that are changed to Restricted is limited to users named under Client Group staffing" is set to false), the Allowed Users page, under the client group, also displays the names of those users. Such users are allowed conditional access to the client group only to enable them to access the matter. They are not added to the client group staffing. This means that other matters under the client group, if restricted by client group, do not have these users as part of the matter staffing. Such users are notified with the following icon (

      ) on the interface.

      If acknowledgement is required for the client group, and the user has not yet acknowledged the security memo, the user is represented with the following icon:

      You may send a reminder notification to the user who is yet to acknowledge the security memo. From the Allowed Users tab, in the user row, click 

       > Remind User.

      If acknowledgement verification is required, and the user is not yet verified, the following icon is displayed beside the user:

      . To verify users, you can do so as described in the Updating Staffing section of Updating Client Group Staffing.

      Users who are assigned the 'Floating user' role are represented with the following icon:

      Users who are assistants to timekeepers are represented with the following icon:

  2. For Excluded Users, in the Clients dashboard, 
    1. Select anywhere on a client group row to navigate to the client group page.
    2. Select the Reports tab. The Allowed Users tab appears.
    3. Select Excluded Users.
      Alternatively,
    4. In the row of the client group, select

       > Reports. The Allowed Users tab opens by default.

    5. Select Excluded Users. You can view the list of all users who are either in conflict with the client group or are a member of an opposing team set and are excluded from it. Such users do not have access to the underlying matters.  Reasons for exclusion includes "... Conflicted User", "Active User on Opposing ...",  and "Historical User on Opposing ...". If the user is excluded for being member on an opposing asset, the asset details are displayed under the reason. 
    6. For specific details on all of the exclusions pertaining to that asset for a user, select
       > View Details. The Exclusion Details dialog appears. Select any of the items shown to navigate to that item.

TIP:

If you need to know which users are both excluded and on the staffing list, you can use the Show Excluded Users filter on the Staffing list. This filter is available only when excluded users are present.


NOTE:

You have the option to filter the displayed user list based on user, job title, and/or practice area.

For allowed users there is an additional filter 'Staffing attributes'.

For excluded users there is an additional filter 'Reason for Exclusion'.

Report of Users with Access by Date and Report of Users with Access by Date Range
