# Firm Admins

> [!NOTE]
> Applies To
> 
> LexWorkplace Starter, Core, Advanced

LexWorkplace allows you to create *Groups* of users in your firm, to organize your teams and to define who should have access to what Matters and content (Permissions) and what actions users can undertake (Rights).

‘Firm Admins’ is System Group that defines who in your firm has elevated access and rights in your LexWorkplace account.

## What Firm Admins Can Do

Members of the Firm Admins group have elevated access and rights compared to users that are not members of this group. You should carefully consider who in your firm should have this level of access.

**Firm Admins can:**

- See and Access All Matters
- Create and Edit Groups
- Add and Remove Members to Any Group
- Apply Permissions to Individual Matters
- Access Private Firm Documents (in addition to Public Firm Documents)
- Manage Integrations (including Clio Manage and Litera Compare)
- Manage Email/Exchange Settings
- See and Manage Shares (Document Sent to Outside Parties) for All Users
- Revoke and Resend Shares from Any User
- Enable and Configure Document Stamping
- Enable and Modify Mandatory Profiling Settings
- Add/Remove Other Users To/From the Firm Admins group
- Override Document Locks (Documents that are Checked-Out or In-Use)

Firm admins also have additional Rights and access, for more information learn about [Groups + Rights Management](/v1/docs/rights-management).

## How to Add/Remove Members of Firm Admins

Any member of Firm Admins can add (or remove) other members of the firm to the Firm Admins group. To do so:

Navigate to **Settings** > **Permissions & Access** > **Edit Permission Groups**

From here you’ll see the Firm Admins group, along with any other groups created by your firm.

- Click *Firm Admins* to manage this group.
- On the next screen you can add (or remove) any active users in your firm to the Firm Admins group.

## Rights Management

As outlined above, adding a user to the Firm Admins Group gives them full access to nearly every part of LexWorkplace. If you wish to give certain Rights to one or more users *without* granting all Rights that come with being a Firm Admin, you can create a new Group and apply the appropriate Rights for that Group.
