Amicus Administrators

Amicus Administrators are firm members who are designated as responsible for the setup and administration of your Amicus Attorney system.

They have additional rights and privileges, including:

User Management—Add, license, and monitor users
Security Profiles—Add and edit Security Profiles that may be assigned to users, to control their access to the various parts of Amicus
Firm Settings—Set basic firm information and database customization
Custom Fields and Records—Configure Custom Fields, Pages, and Records for use in the Files and People modules
File Intake Forms—Configure New File Intake Forms for use when Firm Members add new Files
Import—Import core practice information from another application into Amicus Attorney
Firm Reports—Run reports based on the whole database, not just one user's data
Accounting Synchronization—Perform a global sync with one of the accounting systems that Amicus Attorney offers a dynamic link with
Transfer Records—Transfer Amicus records from a Former Firm Member to an Active Firm Member

How many Amicus Administrators?

We recommend that you designate at least one additional Amicus Administrator as soon as convenient, for security purposes (in case of a forgotten password) and for ongoing administration (in case of an unexpected absence). For more information, see Managing Firm Members.
