Share documents with colleagues and partners

Share documents with colleagues, groups or partner organisations. Three permission levels.

On the eConnect platform you can share documents and invoices with other users, both within your own environment and with external parties via a partnership. This is useful for collaborating with colleagues, accountants or clients.

Sharing within your environment

You can share documents with individual users or groups. When sharing you choose one of three permission levels:

LevelPermissionsFull accessRead, edit and pass on permissions to othersCan editRead and editRead onlyView only

Sharing is available from multiple locations: Documents, Inbox IN and Inbox OUT. Select the document or folder you want to share, choose the recipient and the permission level.

Sharing with external parties (partnership)

To share documents with users outside your own environment, for example with your accountant, a partnership is required. A partnership connects two eConnect environments, allowing users from both environments to exchange documents.

Step 1: Check the requirements

Both parties must be an advanced user or administrator. The partnership feature must be available in the subscription (minimum Basic).

Step 2: Send a relationship request

Go to Partners > Find partners and send a relationship request.

Step 3: Wait for acceptance

The other party receives an email and accepts the request.

Step 4: Add members to organisations

After acceptance you can add members to each other's organisations.

After setting up the partnership you can share documents with users in the partner environment, in the same way as you share documents with internal colleagues.

Relationship manager required

For managing partnerships the relationship manager role is required. Make sure at least one user in your environment has this role.

Creating groups

If you regularly share documents with the same group of people, you can create a group. Add the desired users to the group and share documents with the entire group at once. This saves time and ensures nobody is overlooked.
