Learn how to group the members of your workspace, based on the roles each group of users will perform and the permissions they will have.
At Bigle Legal, there are several types of groups:
- Access groups: to determine what its members have access to. For example, you can create groups by departments or teams.
- Validation groups: to group people who can approve and validate documents (find out more about the validation process in this article).
- Request groups: for grouping users who will attend requests (learn more about requests in this article).
The creation, management and viewing of Access groups is limited by user profiles:
- Administrator: This is the only profile that can create groups and see all their information.
- Manager: Will only see the information of their group.
- User: Will only see their own information.
- Customized profile: as its name indicates, their roles can be chosen to measure.
In this article you can read more about how each type of profile works.
