User vs. employee – what's the difference?

Zaktualizowano 2026-08-20

The user of the application (having an assigned login, email and password) logs in to the application and can operate it.

Employee is an object to which documents can be assigned. It can also be used in boarding processes.

An employee can be assigned to a user.

A single user account can be assigned to more than one company, but only within the same organization. While adding a user, an organization administrator can add an existing account from another tenant to the current company without creating a second login.

You cannot use this flow to add or “transfer” a user from outside the organization. In that case, the system blocks the operation and requires a separate account in the appropriate organization.

The eFOB application includes a search engine in the lease change window that makes it easier to find the assigned company (multi-company):
