D. GovNoticeIDP User Access Privileges
GovNoticeIDP supports multiple user roles to ensure access is tailored to specific responsibilities and permissions. Below is an overview of the roles and their associated privileges:
Access Level |
Privileges |

a. Read-only access to GovNoticeIDP Batches and Files |
View and Update |
a. Create / Review GovNoticeIDP Batches and Files |

Note: While GovNoticeIDP does not currently charge based on the number of users with Administrator or View/Update access, careful management and limitation of these privileges is recommended. GovNoticeIDP billing is based on the number of pages uploaded to a batch. Granting excessive access can increase the risk of unintended modifications or the unintended inclusion of notices in a batch, potentially leading to increased billing.

F. Managing GovNoticeIDP Settings
Once subscribed, GovNoticeIDP Admins can adjust the GovNoticeIDP settings to align with the firm’s operational needs. To access and manage settings, click on the ‘Settings’ option in the top-right corner.
Below are the configuration options:
1. Data Handling
GovNoticeIDP processes notices streamlining multiple related tasks alongside core notice data entry, including updating Case Status and updating Government / Status Documents in FN records, such as EAD/APD, I-797, and I-94 documents.
GovNoticeIDP Admins can enable the following automation settings to update Case and Foreign National records:
-
Update Case Status to ‘Approved’:
If this setting is enabled, the case status is updated to ‘Approved’ when an approval notice is added to the case.
-
Update Government Documents:
When an approval notice is added to a case, GovNoticeIDP updates government documents such as I-797, I-94, and EAD/APD in the Foreign National > US Immigration Info section for supported case types, provided the firm uses out-of-the-box (OOTB) status templates.
For more information on supported case types and classes, refer to the 'J. GovNoticeIDP: Automated Notice Data Entry to INSZoom Records' section in the user guide.
2. Notification and Email Settings
These settings enable GovNoticeIDP Admins to define how email notifications are sent:
I. Manage Notifications to Firm Users

When notices in a batch are processed, the firm users will receive an email notification summarizing the batch details such as the number of files successfully processed, failed, and pending.
-
GovNoticeIDP Admin can configure which firm users should receive these notifications when GovNoticeIDP processes notices in a batch.
II. Manage Notifications to External Stakeholders
-
When the notice is successfully processed and added to the case, external stakeholders will receive an email notification with the notice details.
