How to invite New User into Company and Organization

To manage larger device networks you usually need more then one user account. You - Company Owner, Company Manager - can invite more people into your Company and Organizations and precisely define the level of access for the newly invited users.

Invite users into your Company

On the Company profile page is an option to invite new users into your Company. The invitation is sent over the email. At the time of sending out the invitation you already define the User Role for the newly created user.

User Roles in Company:

RoleShort description
