Admins can:
-
Manage organization-level billing preferences
-
Add, edit, or delete billing codes
-
Manage users and assign roles
-
View Analytics data for teams
This role is typically assigned to firm administrators, operations leaders, or IT owners.
Billing Code Editor
Billing Code Editors can manage billing codes and related billing logic for the organization, with some limitations depending on integrations.
Billing Code Editors can:
-
Add, edit, or delete billing codes
-
Configure billing-related settings, such as:
-
Uploading client billing guidelines
-
Setting time entry preferences and rules
-
Important integration note:
If your firm uses an integrated practice management system (such as Clio, MyCase, SurePoint, LeanLaw, Centerbase, or Orion), that system is treated as the source of truth for clients and matters. In these cases:
-
Billing Code Editors cannot add, edit, or delete clients or matters within Billables AI
-
Client and matter data will sync from the practice management system automatically
- Billing Code Editors can still add and update client billing guidelines

Choosing the Right Role
