How to Add a New AbacusLaw User

This guide provides general instructions for how to add new users in AbacusLaw. If you recently added user licenses to your subscription, and those licenses have not yet been implemented, please follow this guide.

Any user who views, adds, edits, or deletes information from AbacusLaw must be licensed. Make sure there is a license for the user you wish to add. You can find the total number of licenses available to you by navigating to Help > About AbacusLaw.

1. Sign into AbacusLaw as a user with the Administrator security profile.
2. Navigate to the User Manager (File > Setup > User Manager).
3. If you need to remove an existing user to free up a user license, highlight the user, then click Deactivate.

Deactivating a user will NOT affect any data entered by that user in AbacusLaw. For complete instructions on how to replace a user in AbacusLaw, follow this guide.
