eBillingHub Users and their Roles

 

 

 

The eBillingHub process involves five types of user roles: Administrator, Biller, Client Setup, Reporting and Editor. At some law firms, a single person may handle all five user roles, while at other firms, different people may be assigned specific roles. Below is a list of the main eBillingHub tasks for each user role. (Refer to User Access Roles for a list of the eBillingHub screens that users of each role can access.)
