Registering Users
Only registered users of CasePortal can receive Reports, Dinger Alerts, and Tracker Alerts.
If you want to add a recipient to a Report, Dinger, or Tracker, and they are not already registered, you must first invite them to the system.
Only users with Firm Admin or Office Admin permissions can invite other users to the system.
To invite users, go to the Users page in the Firm or Office Management section and then select “invite user.”
The image above shows how a Firm Admin can invite a new user. If you have Office Admin permission, the menu items may look slightly different.
The image above shows the fields required when inviting a user to join CasePortal.
When you invite a user you will need to know:
- A valid email address to send the invite (user will receive an invitation by email to complete registration)
- Which office you wish to assign the user to (this can be changed later)
- Which permission level you wish to assign to the user (this can be changed later)
Invitations are valid for 72 hours. If the invited user hasn't registered their account with CasePortal within that time frame, a new invitation will need to be sent.
Note: you can batch invite up to 20 users at a time as long as they are assigned to the same office and user role.
