Adding Web Users

 

Overview

 

Web Users may have access to the web-enabled components of Sage Paperless Construction only. Web Users include employees, customers, subcontractors and others who need access to Sage Paperless Construction data and documents through web browsers and web applications.

Web Users may be Web Only Reviewers. These are individuals who are Web Users specifically assigned to a narrow list of reviewer permissions and who have no desktop access.

Ad Hoc users are external users with subscriptions. These subscription users pay for eForms™ and/or eCapture™ only. They are not Sage Paperless Construction users and can do nothing within Sage Paperless Construction.
