Users & Roles
CasePack uses account roles and tenant memberships together. Account roles decide what a person can administer across the account; tenant memberships decide what they can do inside a specific tenant workspace.
Account Roles
Section titled “Account Roles”Account roles are managed from Account Users by CasePack Admins.

Account Users Page
Section titled “Account Users Page”CasePack Admins use Account Users to create and manage users across all tenants in the account.
Creating a User
Section titled “Creating a User”- Navigate to Account Users
- Click Create User
- Enter:
- First name and Last name (optional)
- Account role — User or Admin
- For standard Users, select at least one tenant
- Choose the membership role for the selected tenants: OWNER, MEMBER, or VIEWER
- Click Create User
New users receive a login/action email from the identity provider. CasePack does not show or manage temporary passwords in the app.
Managing Existing Account Users
Section titled “Managing Existing Account Users”From Account Users you can:
- Search users by email or name

Admins are attached as Owner to tenant workspaces. Standard Users only see tenant workspaces assigned to them.
Tenant Switching
Section titled “Tenant Switching”Users with access to multiple tenants see a tenant switcher in the app header. Switching tenants refreshes tenant-scoped pages such as Dashboard, Incidents, Evidence, Webhooks, Audit Log, and Users.
Tips & Best Practices
Section titled “Tips & Best Practices”- Use MEMBER for most responders who need to create incidents, upload evidence, and generate deliverables
- Use VIEWER for stakeholders who need visibility without write access
- Reserve OWNER for tenant leads who manage webhooks, audit access, and memberships
- Give CasePack Admin only to people who should manage tenants and account users across the account
