Roles and security permissions
Access to aiR for Privilege is granted through individual actions in the Permissions UI. Each action bundles the tab and object-level permissions needed for that specific capability.
Three presets (Case SME, Annotator, Project Manager) pre-select the right combination of actions for each typical role, or admins can select actions individually to build a custom combination.
Client Brain set up
To use the Privilege Client Brain feature and set up a new project, Project Managers need the following instance-level permission:
| Object security | Tab visibility | Admin operations |
|---|---|---|
|
|
|
To enable this permission, complete the following steps:
- In the Permissions UI, select Admin Security.
- Select theFeatures tab.
- Locate Client and Matter Management in the features list.
- Select See details to expand the available actions.
- Enable the View Clients option.
- Select Granular permissions mapping to expand and review details.
- Select Review and Save to confirm your selection.
