## In This Release

- New: Manage Groups + Rights

Our latest update to LexWorkplace brings significant customization to Rights within LexWorkplace, providing much greater granularity surrounding what users can and cannot do.

---

## Manage Groups & Rights

Prior to this release, LexWorkplace provided limited granularity around Rights and Group membership. Now, nearly every available action/operation in LexWorkplace has a corresponding *Right* that can be enabled or disabled for any given Group.

By using Groups + Rights Management, firms can tightly control what actions certain users/groups can perform (and which they cannot).

### Managing Groups

User Groups have existed in LexWorkplace for some time, though historically Groups existed only to manage access to Matters (Permissions). With this release, individual Rights can be applied to each Group.

### Managing Rights

A *Right* in LexWorkplace is the ability for a user to perform certain *actions or operations* (such as creating Matters, sharing Documents or enabling an Integration). A Right can either be enabled (allow) or disabled (not allowed) for a given Group.

Given that virtually every available action in LexWorkplace has an associated Right (that can be enabled or disabled for any Group), firms can apply *very nuanced and granular* Rights across their firm.

For instance, you may want your Paralegal group to be able to create Clients and Matters, but *not* be able to create or edit Matter Tags/Client Tags/Document Tags. You can now simply create a group, apply the Rights you want members to have, and add users to that Group.
