Accepting an invitation: setting up your own account
From the invitation link in the email to a finished account: check your name, set a password — and what to do if the link has expired.
The Admin has invited you, the email has arrived — here is how it becomes a ready-to-use account.
The setup
The link in the email opens the "Accept invitation" page directly — no sign-in needed, because the link itself is the proof. Above the form you see the email address and the role the invitation is for.
- Name — pre-filled by the Admin if they already created an employee record, but editable; this is how you appear later in assignments and comments.
- Password and "Confirm password" — the rules: at least 10 characters and containing upper- and lowercase letters as well as a digit. So "tencharacter" is not enough, "Tencharacter3" is.
- "Set up account" — after that you are taken to the sign-in page, with the confirmation "Ihr Konto ist eingerichtet. Melden Sie sich jetzt mit Ihrem neuen Passwort an."
After your first sign-in you land in the dashboard. Which pages the menu shows beyond that depends on the assigned role — for employees, for example, "My work" is the most important entry point.
