How to invite a new user to the platform

Invite a new user to your environment on the eConnect platform and assign the right role.

As an administrator you can invite new colleagues to work on the eConnect platform. The invitee receives an email with an activation link and can get started as soon as their account is created. You decide which role the new user receives.

Invite a user
Step 1: Open the user overview

Click on Users in the side menu of the platform.

Step 2: Start the invitation

Click the + button in the top right corner of the screen.

Step 3: Fill in the details

Enter the email address of the person you want to invite and choose the desired role: Basic user, Advanced user or Administrator.

Step 4: Send the invitation

Click Invite. The invitee receives an email with an activation link and can get started as soon as their account is created.

Tip: invite colleagues with their business email address. This email address is also used for notifications and password recovery.

Which role to choose?

The role determines what the new user can do on the platform:

RoleSuitable forCan invite?Basic userEmployees who view, create and send invoicesNoAdvanced userEmployees who also establish partner relationships with external partiesNoAdministratorManagers or IT administrators who need full controlYes

Every new user receives the Basic user role by default. You can always change the role after the invitation.

Change role afterwards

Go to Users, click the user's name and adjust the role. The change takes effect immediately; the user does not need to log in again.

Invitation status

In the user overview you can see the status of each user:

  • Active: the user has accepted the invitation and can log in
  • Invited: the invitation has been sent but not yet accepted
  • Blocked: the user has been temporarily blocked by an administrator

If an invitation does not arrive, check whether the email address is correct and ask the recipient to check their spam folder.

Set up organisation access

After inviting a user you can determine which organisations they have access to. Go to the relevant organisation and add the user as Member (view and send documents) or as Organisation administrator (also manage members).

Note: an invited user only has access to documents once you have added them to at least one organisation.
