Assigning authorisations to users

After the fields have been filled out and assured by [] the [Authorizations ] button appears on the function bar. Open the [Authorizations ] dialogue box to assign country, role and company. 


CountryImage Modified 

 

Select a reporting country, the role applies to. If the company is registered in more than one country (e.g. DE and SE), one employee can work on the German VAT return and another on the Swedish return. The employees can be granted to different permissions so that each one can see and edit only what is relevant for them.

 

“---“ means that the role is relevant for all available countries. 


RoleImage Modified

    

Choose the corresponding role from the dropdown list that contains all available active roles. If one user has several roles, every role has to be assigned separately. 

CompanyImage Modified

    

Select the company(ies) for the corresponding role. The dropdown list contains all available active companies. Multiple selection is possible. Even if several companies have been selected, they are displayed as one authorisation in the overview.

By using the function [cascading] the authorisation can be handed down to subordinated companies. 



Once countries, roles and companies have been assigned, it is important to add the authorisations for every user by clicking the [] button. The created user with the authorisations is displayed under the input line. After you have made your changes, confirm them by clicking []. 


Elster-Zertifikat



Image ModifiedAfter a user has been created successfully in the VAT@GTC, a certificate for electronic submitting of the VAT return [file type .pfx] can be assigned. It serves to identify and secure the electronic transmission of the tax data to the local tax office and can also be used for the online portal of the Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt). The PIN query secures the electronic Elster certificate against unauthorised access. 


Elster certificate can also be saved under [Master data: Home: My Profile].
