Approve/Deny User Request  

To reach this page from the menu you click on Accounts - Approve/Deny User Request. The screen is titled Accounts and Users Requesting Approval.

This screen will present a list of users that have requested new accounts. As part of the user request one of the fields the user must fill out is the organiztaion they belong to. If one of the existing users from that organization is assigned administrator rights for their organization the approval or denial of new users in their organization will go to that administrator. If the court does not assign administrator rights to an organization then the court administrator will approve the request for new user accounts.

The list on this screen is similar to the Accounts and Users screen where the organization name is in a title bar and users are listed below the organization name. To approve a user's request for a new account the administrator must click on each users name which takes them to the User Profile screen for that user. If the filer is a Pro Se filer the administrator would edit the user profile and enter their CMS ID. In addition, the administrator should check to see if any other priviledges should be given. By default the filer is assigned as an attorney with attorney priviledges or a Pro Se with Pro Se priviledges.

Following is a list of information the users can fills out as part of the request.

• User Name - Your user name can be changed however it must be unique so if you change your username the system must first test to see if the name you requested is unique or not. If your new username is not unique then it will give you a message telling you that you must select a different user name.
• Organization - This defines what organization you are associated with. Each user must belong to an organization. For Pro Se filers they should select the predefined organization called Pro Se if the court has established one.
• Bar Number - Only attorneys licensed to practice in this state will be able to enter a Bar number. The attorney cannot change this bar number once they are entered in the system. If there is an error you must contact the Court System Administrator to change this. Filers that are not licensed attorneys in the state do not fill out the Bar number field unless there are special conditions where agents can file as attorneys. In this case the agent enters their CMS ID in the Bar field. All filers that do not fill out a Bar number will be treated as Pro Se filers.
• Bar State - the default is only state allowed.
• User Identifier - Assigned by the Court System Administrator to uniquely identify the user. This information generally comes from the UserID in the court CMS.
