In many law firms and corporate legal departments, critical document operations are intentionally locked down for safety:
❌ Delete permissions restricted to protect sensitive data
❌ Admin-level tasks create bottlenecks for business users
❌ Power users wait while simple cleanup tasks pile up
But what happens when trusted users actually need that control?
✅ Litigation Support teams need to delete matter folders
✅ Knowledge Management needs to reorganize workspaces
✅ Records teams need to bulk download for retention
✅ Practice Leads need to clean up closed matters
They shouldn’t have to wait on IT for every action.


The Solution: PowerDesk
PowerDesk is a next-generation iManage extension that gives selected users the ability to perform controlled admin-level tasks, without waiting on IT or compromising data governance.
