Restrict User Access Based on Configurable Roles and Permissions

eCourtDate provides all accounts with unlimited users. Users have shared access to the agency account and can complete actions based on their assigned role(s).

Each user's roles and permissions may be distinct per agency.

SUPER ADMIN

Super Admin is a built-in user role. Any user with Super Admin has all permissions regardless if the user has additional assigned roles.

We recommend only IT, help desk, and admin-level users be assigned Super Admin.

CONSOLE ADMIN

Console Admin is a built-in user role similar to Super Admin but only for the Console Application.

This role is ideal for IT users who are only responsible for automation and need minimal access to each sub-agency.

This role is only available for users with their own identity provider such as Azure Active Directory.

Uploads are data files from your Case Management System. Uploads can be manual or automated and can manage all relevant data in-app.

Reports

Reports are automated datasets and data points of messages with associated filters and date ranges. For example, a Monthly Outbound Messages Report will generate a list of all outbound messages on a monthly basis.
