Basic Security Rule: Employee Number
Updated over a week ago

In some instances, your visitors may not have an email address, but you'll still want to know their identity. This is where an Employee Number Security Rule can be used instead, as they simply enter their unique identifier in the format required before gaining access to a document.

Contact our Support team if you would like to set up this type of Security Rule, as an additional setting will need to be applied for you first.

How to create an 'Employee Number' Security Rule

  • Select ‘Documents’ from the main menu.

  • Select ‘Settings’ followed by ‘Security Rules’.

  • Select the ‘Add’ button.

  • Start by entering a name for the Security Rules in the 'Details'.

💡 Make sure the name is clear and recognisable so you know which Security Rule you're looking for when you wish to add it to a Document.

  • Select the 'Emp. No.' tab.

  • Select the 'Employee Number Required' checkbox.
