PLEASE NOTE If you have already created an InLoox trial account, you can skip steps 1-5 and proceed directly to 6.

1. Enter login.inloox.com in your browser. Please make sure that you are using a current browser version.
2. Enter your first name and last name and choose a password that consists of at least 8 characters including letters, numbers and special characters.
3. Accept the terms and conditions and the privacy policy
4. Click on Create Account.
5. You are redirected to InLoox Web App at www.app.inloox.com and can invite your team to your InLoox account.

You will immediately receive a confirmation email with your login data. Never share this email with third parties!

     6. Click on the activation link in the confirmation email to access all the features of your InLoox account.

     7. To check if the activation was successful, click on your profile picture at the bottom left, then click on My Profile. Under Profile Details, it says VERIFIED next to your email address.

PLEASE NOTE The person that creates the InLoox account automatically holds all administrative permissions. You can change these permissions in InLoox Web App in the settings.

PLEASE NOTE You either need administrator permissions to invite other people to your InLoox account. Or your InLoox administrator has activated the permission Allow users to invite people to this account in the InLoox settings for all users of your account.

1. In InLoox Web App, click on your profile picture in the bottom left corner.
2. Click on Invite User. 
3. In the Invite User dialog window, enter the email address of the person you want to collaborate with in InLoox. Additionally, select the basic permissions for this person:

• • Inherited by role: the person gets permissions based on the project role they hold. This person cannot change any settings for the InLoox account. This is the default selection recommended by InLoox.
  • Read all projects: The person gets all permissions for all projects and project data but cannot change any settings for the InLoox account.
  • Full permissions: This person gets administrator permissions. This means that this person can read and edit all projects and project data, as well as change all settings in the InLoox account. Only an administrator can give this permission to another person. 
    TIP Always appoint two people as InLoox administrators, so that at least one person in the company is always available in case settings need to be changed or new people need to be provided with user licenses.

      4. Click on Invite. The invited person will receive an email with a link to your InLoox account.

After you have invited a person to your InLoox account, you have to assign a user license to them. You do that in the application settings under Licensing.
PLEASE NOTE You need to have administrator permissions to assign licenses.

1. In InLoox Web App, click on your profile picture in the bottom left corner.
2. Click on Account Settings.
3. Click on User Management on the left. Here you can find all details about available and assigned licences.
4. Newly invited users have a Read-Only access by default. To now assign a license to users, change the access for corresponding persons from Read-Only to Read & Write. The prerequisite for this is that you have enough free user licenses available.

You need to set three different types of permissions: user-based permissions for the people invited to your InLoox account. Role permissions for the different project roles, and division permissions for people who may access projects in divisions other than their own. You do this in the settings under Permissions.

TIP If you have never set InLoox permissions before, read the InLoox Permissions help article first for detailed information and examples.

1. In InLoox Web App, click on your profile picture in the bottom left corner.
2. Click on Account Settings.
3. Click on Permissions on the left.
4. Click on the Users tab.
5. Select the person and assign permissions for the entire InLoox account under the Global tab first. These permissions apply to all InLoox areas across all projects.
6. Then, under the Divisions tab, set the permissions that the person will receive for projects assigned to another division.

You should also set the permissions for the InLoox users‘ assigned project roles.

1. Under Permissions, click on Roles next to the Users tab. Now you can define which permissions a person gets when they take on the role of

• Project manager
• Team member
• Partner
• Customer or
• Other in a project.

The role permissions are added to the user permissions. A person with very limited user permissions can thus obtain full editing rights in a project as soon as they assume the role of project manager, for example.

PLEASE NOTE If you do not see any projects in the project list and you cannot create a project, contact your InLoox administrator (the person who created the InLoox account or has the administrator rights).

TIP For quality management, you should deactivate the Delete project comments and Delete own project comments permissions. This way you ensure the integrity of your project diary for audits.

For more information and tips, see the help article InLoox Permissions.
