Understanding Multi-Org Users and Guest Access

CaseScribe allows one user to belong to more than one organization at the same time. This is called multi-org access.

A user can have a different role in each organization while using the same email and password. For example, the same person may be:

  • An End User in their own firm

  • A Guest in another firm or multiple organization

  • An Admin in a different organization

This makes it easier for outside reviewers, medical experts, co-counsel, or consultants to collaborate with multiple firms using the same email address.

What Is a Multi-Org User?

A multi-org user is a person whose email address is connected to more than one CaseScribe organization.

Before this feature, one email address could only belong to one organization. Now, the same user can be invited to another organization without creating a separate account.

For example, a medical expert may be a regular team member at one law firm and also be invited as a guest reviewer for another firm.

How Organization Access Works

CaseScribe uses the user’s active organization to determine what they can see and do.

When a user logs in or switches organizations, CaseScribe only shows data from the selected organization.

This means:

  • Org A data stays separate from Org B data

  • A user’s role in one organization does not apply to another organization

  • Guest access in one organization does not expose data from another organization

Switching Between Organizations

If a user belongs to multiple organizations, they may see an organization picker during login.

After logging in, they can also switch organizations from the sidebar without logging out.

When switching organizations:

  • The active organization changes

  • The visible clients, cases, and permissions update

  • The user’s role is applied based only on the selected organization

Example Scenario

A user may have:

  • End User access in Firm A

  • Guest access in Firm B

When active in Firm A, the user can access Firm A based on their End User permissions.

When active in Firm B, the user only sees the specific client or case shared with them as a Guest.

What Guest Users Can Do

In an organization where the user is a Guest, they can only access the information shared with them.

Guests can:

  • View shared clients

  • View shared cases

  • View facts within their shared scope

  • View documents in shared cases

  • Comment on facts

  • Use Ask AI on shared cases

  • Create their own AI chats

  • View shared chats

  • View Case Summary in read-only mode

  • Export facts within their shared scope

  • Switch between organizations they belong to

What Guest Users Cannot Do

Guest users cannot:

  • Add, edit, or delete clients

  • Add, edit, or delete cases

  • Upload documents

  • Add, edit, or delete documents

  • Add, edit, or delete facts

  • Hide, unhide, verify, or unverify documents or facts

  • Mark facts as Key Facts

  • Add or remove tags

  • Use Bulk Edit

  • Save, edit, or delete custom views

  • Re-run AI tagging or fact grouping

  • Add facts from Global Search, the Documents tab, or the PDF viewer

  • Access the Users management page

  • Share the case with another guest

If a guest tries to access something they are not allowed to use, the option should usually be hidden. In some cases, they may see a permission message instead.

Guest Access and Ask AI

Guests can use Ask AI on cases shared with them.

They can:

  • Ask questions about shared case information

  • Read shared chats

  • Create new chats

  • Receive AI responses based on their available information

However, Ask AI will not perform restricted actions for guests. For example, it should not create facts or apply tags on behalf of a guest user.

Exporting Facts as a Guest

Guests may export facts, but only within their shared access scope.

For example:

  • If a guest only has access to one case, the export should only include facts from that case

  • If a saved view limits what facts they can see, the export should follow that scope

Guest exports should not include facts from other clients, cases, or organizations.

Data Isolation Between Organizations

CaseScribe keeps each organization’s data separate.

A user who belongs to multiple organizations should only see data from the organization they are currently using.

For example:

  • When active in Org A, the user should only see Org A data

  • When active in Org B, the user should only see Org B data

  • Direct links to clients or cases from another organization should not expose that data

This is especially important when a user is a full team member in one organization and a guest in another.

Removing a Multi-Org User

Removing a user from one organization does not automatically remove them from another organization.

For example:

  • If a user is removed from Org A, they may still keep guest access in Org B

  • If the user is later removed from Org B as well, they may no longer have any organization access

Each organization’s membership is managed separately.

Re-Inviting a Removed User

If a guest is removed from an organization and later re-invited, their old shared access should not automatically return.

The organization must explicitly share the client or case again.

This protects client data and prevents old access from being restored unintentionally.

Summary

Multi-org access allows one user to work across multiple CaseScribe organizations using the same email address. Their role and permissions are applied separately in each organization. Guests can review shared information, comment, use Ask AI, and export facts within scope, but they cannot perform editing or administrative actions. Data remains isolated between organizations at all times.
