1. What is a DocuWare ID and what functions are associated with it?

In addition to access to your Web Client, you have a personal DocuWare account, which is your DocuWare ID. This personal account gives you access to many special services for DocuWare customers, such as support. Please see more on this below. To use the full feature set, you must link your personal account to a company.
This gives you access to the following functions:

1.1  General functions


1.2 Special functions for DocuWare Partners
As a DocuWare Partner, you can access two additional options:

  • Participate in DocuWare Academy courses  
  • Manage employees and DocuWare customers and employees in the business unit via "My Business"

Which rights an employee has is determined by their team membership. Permissions are predefined for each team and cannot be edited.
You can access a summary of the team rights at any time via the side menu in "Manage people."

       3.1 Create team rights for DocuWare customers

DocuWare customers have three different teams—see the screenshot below.
Only members of the "Administration" or "Management" teams have the right to change team rights of company members.
If you are on the "Administration" team, you cannot demote administrators or promote members to the "Administrator" team.

A DocuWare Partner company can assign employees to four different teams. Depending on the team membership, employees receive different, predefined permissions, which cannot be changed. Only members of the "Administration" or "Management" teams have the right to change team rights of company members. If you are on the "Administration" team, you cannot demote administrators or promote members to the "Administrator" team.

2. Select the company you want to remove the link from and click "Remove."
