Introduction
The ability for organisations to manage their own user base within Lawmaker was introduced as part of Version 14, released in April 2023.
With the correct permissions, you can create new user accounts, reset accounts, disable and delete accounts. You can also grant user admin and document admin permissions to others in your organisation.
...
User accounts within an organisation can be created and managed by admin users within that organisation. This is done from the user management screen which also enables admin users to view all users in their organisation and their status.
If you have permissions to create new users, etc you must do so in accordance with your responsibilities set out in the Security Operating procedures, which will have been provided to you. See also the Lawmaker Acceptable Use Policy.
As an admin user you can:
create a new account for a user in your organisation,
reset an account, forcing the user to setup a new password and to setup multi-factor authentication (MFA) again,
disable and delete accounts,
grant and remove administrative permissions.
