Contact (when seen in CWA) | A
CWA contact who has been given a ‘Practitioner Type’. These contacts
appear in Fee Earner/Supervisor drop downs on CCMS, and you can assign
them to cases. This person does not need to be a CCMS User. |
Fee Earner / Supervisor | If you choose to assign a Fee Earner to a case, their name will appear on the Public Funding Certificate. |
Contact (in CCMS) | The
person that you assign to a CCMS case, who receives the actions and
notifications for that case. You choose the contact via a drop down
list, and they must be a CCMS User in order to appear on the list. (Note
that the exception to this is billing, where the user who submits the
bill receives the notifications about it). |
Role | When applied to a user, roles define what you can and cannot do in CCMS or other LAA Online applications. |

person in your organisation with this role can create and amend users
and contacts in CWA. More than one person can hold this role. |
