(c) To become a registered user, an individual must complete an online registration form to request access to the electronic filing system and accept the conditions of electronic filing. If the person is approved as a registered user to access the electronic filing system, the person shall be granted login privileges. A lawyer may register to use multiple logins, but a separate fee shall be paid for each login, if applicable.

(4) Ensure that the login is used only by the registered user to whom it is assigned and by non-attorney agents and employees as the registered user may authorize. No registered user shall knowingly permit his or her login to be used by anyone other than his or her authorized agents and employees. A government attorney whose subscription fee has been waived shall use that login for governmental purposes;
(5) Furnish required information for case processing; and
(6) Such other conditions that may be established by the state courts administrator.
