To add a new user to Access APS Online, please follow the steps below:

Step 1 - Create the new user in Office 365 and Fee Earner Console

  1. Ask your IT to create the new user in Office 365 as usual. The user will need to know their Full Name and Office 365 Email address, and have chosen their password.

  2. Create the new user in APS Fee Earner Console, Fee Earner Rates, JOE Admin, etc as usual.


Step 2 - Log a support case requesting the new user to be set up in the Access APS Online Environment

  1. Use the Create Case link at the bottom of this article to log your support request. Please provide the details below to get the new user set up and linked to your Access APS Online site:

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Email address (This is the user's Office 365 email address and must be using the same domain name.)

Note: Please advise if the new person will be working outside of Australia/New Zealand, as an extra step will need to be completed by the tech team to Whitelist their IP Address.

We will provide you with the new user's APS Login Name. This exact Login Name must then be updated in the Fee Earner Console for the new user:
