In ContactsLaw, every file has a manager; the member who primarily takes responsibility for the matter and who is involved in its day-to-day management. The file manager is implicitly given full permissions to the file, as well as the ability to control access for other members.

 

In many tasks and activities, the file manager is a specially-recognised role to whom you can delegate work, send notifications or request access from.

 

During file creation, the workgroup determines the default file manager. In the absence of a default, the member creating the file is used. The ability for a member to be nominated as a file manager in a particular workgroup is controlled by workgroup permissions.
