Overview
By following these core principles, you can protect your firm against unauthorized activity while ensuring your team has exactly what they need to stay productive.
1. Master the "Principle of Least Privilege"
Not everyone needs the keys to the castle. While Administrators have full site access, most team members only need specific tools to do their jobs.
Be Selective: Assign permissions based on roles. For example, allow a clerk to add payments and search transactions, but restrict their ability to process refunds.
The Goal: Limit your firm's vulnerability to internal errors or unauthorized actions.
2. One Person, One Login (No Exceptions!)
LawPay Link offers unlimited users, so there is no reason to share credentials.
Maintain Integrity: Every action in the system is "stamped" with a username.
Accountability: Individual logins create a clear audit trail. If a mistake happens, you'll know exactly where it originated, making it easier to fix.
Security: Sharing passwords is the fastest way to compromise your firm's data.
3. Keep a Clean House
Your user list should only reflect your current team.
Offboarding: As soon as an employee leaves the firm, delete their user profile immediately.
Prevent Breaches: Deleting inactive accounts is a critical step in preventing post-termination security breaches.
💡 The Bottom Line
