To add users within DocSpace,
- Go to the Accounts section on the left.
- Use the Actions button in the upper left corner or the
Plus icon above the list of users.
- Choose the Invite menu item.
- Select the user type: DocSpace admin, Room admin, Power user, User.
- Invite users via the link:
- Turn on the Invite via link switcher – the link will be copied to the clipboard.
- If you want to change the user type, select the necessary one from the list and use the
icon to copy the modified invitation link to the clipboard. You can send the copied link in any convenient way.
This link is valid for 7 days only.
- Alternatively, you can use the Add manually section to add email addresses manually one by one:
- Enter a valid email address and click ‘Add’ below or press Enter. In the same way, add several email addresses if necessary.
- Change the invitation language if necessary.
- Change the user type if necessary.
- When ready, click the Send invitation button. Invitations will be sent to the specified email addresses.
When a user receives the invitation, they should follow the link, specify their email (if they were invited using Invite via link option), first and last name, and set a password (the password CANNOT be less than 8 and more than 30 characters long). It's also possible to change the language using the combo box in the upper right corner.
After that the user can:
- access DocSpace,
- view the Rooms and Archive spaces (they are empty if the user was not invited to a room),
- edit their own profile.
Once the user is invited to a room, they can participate in collaboration. Admins can manage the existing users in DocSpace.
Create groups

- Enter the group Name.
- Assign the Head of group by clicking the Select link and selecting one of the existing users, then click Add.
- Add group Members by clicking the Add members link and selecting the existing users, then click Add.
- Click the Create button.
