  2. Provide access to the tab Legal Holds in the user view:

This permission enables the Legal Holds tab to be displayed in the user view. In this tab the user will see the list of legal holds for the documents of the types specified in the previous step (Provide read access to legal holds for the desired document types:).

Note that without the previous step the Legal Holds tab will be empty.

To also allow the user to set and remove legal holds, set the permission Update to “Enabled”. The user will be able to perform actions with legal holds in two views: in the documents hit list and in the Legal Holds tab.
