User Manual for Company Admins 2
Contents
1 General Information on UMSWeb ....................................................................................... 4
With the new UMSWeb Version 2.0, the previous functionalities of the Version 1.21 are
offered in a modified way. In addition, new functionalities are available.
You complete the core tasks of the profile administration by using the functionalities under
the tab User management.
Other tabs are also available to you if there are specific authorizations of your user profile.
These offer additional functionalities for special user groups.
2 User Management
You complete the core tasks of the profile administration by using the functionalities under
the tab User management.
The Main menu is continuously available to every user, but is dependent on the
authorizations in the user's profile. This means it can look different for different profiles.
However, the functions offered there do not change during the use of the UMSWeb.
From each page under the tab User management, you can click on the menu items in the
Main menu.
Users whose profiles also have administrative authorization for profiles other than their own,
also have the Actions menu available. The entries in the Actions menu are dependent on
the authorizations of the profile and the work context.
In addition, the Actions menu always offers, on subordinate pages, the menu item Back in
order to cancel the current action and return to the previous page.
The Orientation area You are located here:… serves as an overview of where - i.e. at
which functionality - the user is located. This area is located directly below the tab User
management and lists the pages in the form of a path, by which the user gets to
subordinate pages.
By way of this path, you get back to the previously visited functionalities if you click on the
underscored "breadcrumbs".
Using the browser "Back" function is not recommended and can lead to incorrect behavior.
If UMSWeb is not displayed in your preferred language, the interface does not exist in this
language. Depending on your browser settings, you will see UMSWeb in this case in German
or English.
You can change your preferred language in your Own personal data under the
Personal Data tab. How to proceed read in chapter “Own Personal Data”.
With the following process, you call up the detail view for your user profile:
1. You are on the page under the tab User management (button under the line You
are logged in as: …).
3. The Own personal data view of your user profile will be opened.
4. Under different tabs (e.g., Personal data, Contact data or Roles), the data on the
person (identity) and on the profile are listed. Click on the name of the tab with the
contents you would like to see.
5. In order to edit the data under a specific tab, click on Edit. An editable view of the
data will be provided. Fields that can be edited are now displayed as input fields with
a blue background. You can fill in the blank fields or change entries that are already
present.
NOTE: The possibility of editing the data depends on your authorizations and your
profile:
- The data of internal profiles can only be edited in a very restricted manner.
- For external profiles with ID Level 2 or 3, under the Personal data tab, the
fields "First name", "Birth name", "Place of birth" and "Sex" cannot be changed.
7. If you do not want to make any changes, at the end of the data form, click on Cancel.
8. To leave your profile detail view, click in the Main menu on another menu item.
Personal data Data on the person (identity) are displayed that were stored for your
profile, i.e. name, sex, nationality, etc.
The data can be changed, except for the fields "Profile ID" and "ID
level".
Contact data Information on the work environment and contact data of your user
profile are displayed here, e.g., company name, address and e-mail
address.
Contract data Data on your user profile is displayed here that are of interest for internal
use.
The DUNS number serves as a link to the company data. The company
data are loaded from the supplier database and also cannot be edited
here.
Profile data Other, mainly technical, data on your user profile are displayed here that
are of interest for internal use.
Groups The groups are listed here, in which your user profile is a member.
Roles The roles assigned to your user profile are listed here.
The roles cannot be edited here and are displayed for information only.
If the same role is listed several times, this means you have several
rights tickets within this role. The role is displayed once per rights ticket.
The Copy column indicates whether the role involves a copied rights
ticket. As a rule, copied roles cannot be edited. This information is useful
for users who are allowed to edit the roles of this profile.
Users with appropriate authorization can expand the role listing to the
non-visible roles. To do this, select the option Display non-visible
roles. To change the list back to the original display, deselect the option.
Password You can change your security questions for a self-service reset of your
questions password here.
The process for resetting the profile password has been changed for the
Group Business Platform. In the future, users can set a new password
for themselves if they have forgotten the original password (using the
link "Forgotten password?“ in the Group Business Platform).
Precondition is that the user has defined two security questions and their
answers in advance. Each user will be prompted for this successively
when logging in to the Group Business Platform.
The data cannot be changed in UMSWeb. The company admin of your company can update
the company data in the supplier database (LDB).
With the following process, you call up the detail view for your company:
1. You are on the page under the tab User management (button under the line You
are logged in as: …).

deselect the option.
The user profiles found will be listed and displayed as a table with their attributes. The table
columns contain the attributes of the profiles: Profile ID, Status, Last name, First name,

When first logging in with the new password, the user must change this password. After that
the login is activated.
The password of a user login must be reset if the user who uses the user profile with login
has either forgotten his/her password or has had to change the current password for security
reasons.
The user can use the reset password for login in to the Group Business Platform, but will
then be immediately requested to change this password. Before that, the user cannot access
the applications.
With the following process, you reset the password of a user profile:
1. You are on the page under the tab User management (button under the line You
are logged in as: …).
2. The user profile for which you would like to reset the password must be displayed in
the Search results (see chapter “Search for Profiles”).
3. Mark the profiles whose passwords are to be reset. To do this, click in the search
results on the checkbox for the respective profile. A check mark will be set.
NOTE: It is not possible to reset the password of a deactivated profile (in Status
column or ). Only for activated profiles (in Status column or ) you can reset
the password. If you have marked in the Search results only deactivated profiles
the action “Set password” cannot be called up.
NOTE: If you have also selected profiles that have passwords that you are not
allowed to reset - e.g., the profile with which you are currently logged in - they will be
listed in the window in another table. The reason why the profiles are excluded from
the action will be given in the table. In order to reset the password of the profile with
which you are currently logged in, see chapter “Change Own Password”.
6. If you want to reset the password of an individual user profile, you have the option of
having a password generated automatically or determining it yourself.
NOTE: A password you determine yourself must be at least 6 characters long. If fewer
characters or characters that are not permitted are entered, an error message will be
displayed. To prevent typing errors, the password must be entered twice manually.
7. As a matter of principle, if you want to reset the passwords of several user profiles,
these passwords will be generated automatically.
9. If you do not want to reset the passwords of the user profiles, e.g., in order to change
the profile selection, click in the window on Cancel.
At the end of the action, you will be brought back to the search results.
If the password of a user profile has been reset, this is indicated in the search results with the
login status "First login".
A reset password can be used by the user for access to the Group Business Platform. When
first logging in with the new password, the user must change this password. After that the
login is activated.
The user of the reset password receives an e-mail with the new password. The e-mail will be
sent to the e-mail address that has been saved for the user profile.

An activated user login can be used by its user for logging into the Group Business Platform,
provided that the associated profile is activated (see chapter “Activate User Profile”).
A deactivated user login is blocked and does not allow its user any access to the Group
Business Platform, even if the profile is activated.
You need the associated admin rights for the roles that you would like to edit for a user profile
(see chapter “Editing Admin Rights”). Only then will you see the roles in the profile search
and on the pages for role editing.
You will find the process for role editing of several profiles at the same time in chapter
“Editing Roles of Several User Profiles”.
With the following process, you edit the roles of an individual user profile:
1. You are on the page under the tab User management (button under the line You
are logged in as: …).
2. The user profile for which you would like to edit the roles must be displayed in the
Search results (see chapter “Search for Profiles”).
3. Mark the profile. To do this, click in the Search results on the checkbox for the
profile. A check mark will be set.
NOTE: You can also call up the action "Edit roles" in the detail view of the profile (see
chapter “Detail View of a User Profile”). In the Profile detail view, under the tab
Roles, you will find a listing of all the roles that are assigned to the user profile.
5. You go to the editing screen for the roles: Under View details, the profile is
displayed with the roles that are assigned to it. However, only the roles are listed that
you may edit on the basis of your admin rights.
NOTE: To obtain a description of the role and the associated application, place the
mouse pointer on the name of the role and/or of the application (underlined with
dashed lines). A small text field with a description will be displayed.
6. The button is available for roles with role details (boundaries) that you are
also allowed to edit.
7. Under Selection of role to be edited, select the role that you want to assign to or
revoke from the profile: Click in the selection list on the role to be edited. The roles
are arranged under their respective application (solution).
- Click on Cancel selection if you would like to cancel your role selection.
- If the selection list contains many roles, a filter function is available. Enter the
role name and/or parts of the role name that you would like to mark in the list at
Filter by. After that, in the selection list below that, only roles are displayed that
contain your filter value in the name. Click on , in order to delete the filter so
that all roles are displayed in the list again.
- Users with corresponding authorization can change the role selection list so that
the technical role names are listed instead of the display names. To do this,
select the option Display technical role names. After that, the selection list
will be changed to technical names. To change the display back to the display
names, deselect the option.
- Users with appropriate authorization can expand the role listing to the non-
visible roles. To do this, select the option Display non-visible roles. In this
way, you can assign the non-visible roles explicitly to the user profile. To change
the list back to the original display, deselect the option.
NOTE: In the selection list, you see only roles for which you have the admin right (see
chapter “Editing Admin Rights”).
8. If you have selected a role that is assigned to the profile, the Revoke role button is
enabled. Click on it to select this role for revocation.
HANDY HINT: It is easier if you click the button under View details next to the
role that you want to revoke from the profile!
9. If you have selected a role that is not assigned to the profile, the Assign role button
is enabled. Click on it to mark this role for assignment.
NOTE: The Assign role button is also enabled if you have selected a role that is
already assigned to the profile and has boundaries that you are allowed to edit. This
means you have the option to assign to the profile a second rights ticket for the role.
In this case, continue with Step 11.
10. A role that you mark for assignment will be taken over under View details and
displayed in green type. In addition, the role is marked with a +. A role that you mark
for revocation will be displayed in red lettering and marked with a –.
NOTE: You can select and mark several roles in succession for assignment or
revocation. The changes are collected - like in a shopping cart - and displayed under
View details. The changes are not yet effective at this time and can be reset or
expanded.
11. If you assign a role that includes boundary values and you are allowed to edit the
boundaries, after clicking on Assign role a Role details windows opens. In the
window, enter the required boundary values (if applicable, leave the suggested
values). Then click on Assign role in the window. Now the role will be adopted under
View details and displayed in blue type. If you do not want to assign the role, click
on Cancel in the window.
NOTE: Also the boundary values are kept only in intermediate storage (shopping cart)
as long as the role changes under View details are displayed in blue. Here you can
continue to edit the boundaries using the button.
13. If you do not want to edit the roles, e.g., in order to change the profile selection, click
14. With Revoke all roles, you mark all the assigned roles of the user profile for
revocation. This will then be displayed to you in an overview. Continue with Step 17.
In which cases does it make sense to revoke all roles from a user profile?
- The user profile has many roles that it must no longer have. Instead of this, the
profile needs new roles. Possible procedure: Revoke all roles from the profile
and then assign the new roles to it.
- The user profile has many roles, of which it is to keep only a few. Possible
procedure: Revoke all roles from the profile and then reassign the few roles to it
that it must keep.
- A user profile is no longer used by the user and must be made unusable. By
revoking all roles, the profile no longer has access to applications.
15. When you have carried out the desired changes, click on Save changes, in order to
save all role changes.
16. On the following page, an Overview of the role changes will be given.
17. Click again on Save changes, in order to finally confirm the changes. The roles will
now be permanently assigned to or revoked from the user profile.
18. If you do not want to confirm the changes, e.g., in order to make other changes, click
on Back to selection. You go back to the page where you can edit the roles of the
profile.
At the end of the action, you will be brought back to the search results.
The user of the user profile with changed roles receives an e-mail for notification. The e-mail
will name the roles that have been assigned or revoked. The e-mail will be sent to the e-mail
address that has been saved for the user profile.
NOTE: An e-mail is only generated and sent if the role changes have been made to an
external user profile of a supplier. For role changes on internal user profiles of Volkswagen
employees, no e-mails are generated.
You need the associated admin rights for the roles that you would like to edit for a user profile
(see chapter “Editing Admin Rights”). Only then will you see the roles in the profile search
and on the pages for role editing.
UMSWeb also offers the option of assigning or revoking one or more roles to or from several
user profiles in one administrative step.
You will find the process for role editing of an individual profile in the chapter “Editing Roles of
an Individual User Profile”.
With the following process, you edit the roles of several user profiles:
1. You are on the page under the tab User management (button under the line You
are logged in as: …).
2. The user profiles for which you would like to edit the roles in the same way must be
displayed in the Search results (see chapter “Search for Profiles”).
3. Mark the profiles. To do this, click in the Search results on the checkbox for the
respective profile. A check mark will be set.
5. You go to the editing screen for the roles: Under Selected profiles, the profiles are
displayed in a table. Since at this moment no role is selected, the columns and
are empty. Column displays whether the selected role is assigned to the profile.
Column displays whether the admin right for the selected role is assigned to the
profile.
6. Under Selection of role to be edited, select the role that you want to assign to or
revoke from the profiles: Click in the selection list on the role to be edited. The roles
are arranged under their respective application (solution).
way, you can assign the non-visible roles explicitly to the user profiles. To
change the list back to the original display, deselect the option.
NOTE: In the selection list, you see only roles for which you have the admin right (see
chapter “Editing Admin Rights”).
7. After selection of a role, under Selected profiles, you see whether the role (in
column ) and the admin right to this role (in column ) are assigned to the profiles.
NOTE: The admin right is displayed here for information only. You can edit it by using
the "Edit admin rights" action using the profile search results (see chapter “Editing
Admin Rights”).
8. If you would like to assign the selected role to all selected profiles, click on Assign
role to all profiles. Under Selected profiles, green check marks are set in the
role column.
NOTE: The Assign role to all profiles button is also enabled if you have selected
a role that is already assigned to the profile and has boundaries that you are allowed
to edit. This means you have the option to assign the profiles a second rights ticket for
the role. In this case, continue with Step 10.
9. If you would like to revoke the selected role from all selected profiles (that have the
role), click on Revoke roles from all profiles. Under Selected profiles, red
check marks are set in the role column.
NOTE: You can select and mark several roles in succession for assignment or
revocation. The changes will be collected - as in a shopping cart - and put in
intermediate storage.
10. If you assign a role that includes boundary values and you are allowed to edit the

in the window on Cancel.
NOTE: Also the boundary values are kept only in intermediate storage (shopping
cart).
11. Click in the Actions menu , in order to see all roles and changes
per user profile.
12. The display changes and becomes the detail view. To see the roles of a profile, click
under View details in the table line of the profile (e.g., on the first name). The table
line is highlighted in green and marked with an arrow . This arrow points to the role
listing of the user profile.
14. If you do not want to edit the roles, e.g., in order to change the profile selection, click
15. With Revoke all roles from all profiles, you mark all the assigned roles of the
user profile for revocation. This will then be displayed to you in an overview. Continue
with Step 18.
In which cases does it make sense to revoke all roles from the selected user
profiles?
- The user profiles have many different roles that they must no longer have.
Instead of this, the profiles need new roles that are the same. Possible
procedure: Revoke all roles from the profiles and then assign the new roles to
them.
- The user profiles have many roles, of which they are to keep only a few (same
roles). Possible procedure: Revoke all roles from the profiles and then reassign
the few roles to them that they must keep.
- The user profiles will no longer be used by the users and must be made
unusable. By revoking all roles, the profiles no longer have access to
applications.
16. When you have carried out the desired changes, click on Save changes, in order to
save all role changes.
17. On the following page, an Overview of the role changes will be given. Each
profile that has roles that will be changed is displayed here.
18. Click again on Save changes, in order to finally confirm the changes. The roles will
now be permanently assigned to or revoked from the user profiles.
19. If you do not want to confirm the changes, e.g., in order to make other changes, click
on Back to selection. You go back to the page where you can edit the roles of the
profiles.
At the end of the action, you will be brought back to the search results.
The users of the user profiles with changed roles each receive an e-mail for notification. The
e-mail will name the roles that have been assigned or revoked. The e-mail will be sent to the
e-mail address that has been saved for the respective user profile.
NOTE: An e-mail is only generated and sent if the role changes have been made to an
external user profile of a supplier. For role changes on internal user profiles of Volkswagen
employees, no e-mails are generated.
You will find basic information on role editing of profiles in the chapters “Editing Roles of an
Individual User Profile” and “Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.”.
With the following process, you compare the roles of two user profiles and then transfer the
roles of one profile to the other:
1. You are on the page under the tab User management (button under the line You
are logged in as: …).
2. The two user profiles that you would like to compare to each other must be displayed
in the Search results (see chapter “Search for Profiles”).
3. Mark the two profiles. To do this, click in the Search results on the checkbox for
the respective profile. A check mark will be set.
NOTE: The "Compare user profiles" action can only be called up if exactly two profiles
are marked in the search results.
5. You go to the comparison of the two profiles: Under Compare roles of the
profiles, the application roles of the profiles are displayed in a table. In the table is
used to identify which profile the role is assigned to.
NOTE: In the comparison, you see only roles for which you have the admin right (see
chapter “Editing Admin Rights”).
6. If you don't want to transfer the roles of one profile to the other profile, click in the

to which the roles of the other profile will be copied are displayed here. The roles that
are copied will be listed.
NOTE: Only the roles of the other profile are copied that the profile listed here does
not have yet, or has a rights ticket that is different. After the copying, the profile has
the total of its own roles and the roles of the other profile.
9. Click on Save changes, in order to finally confirm the changes. The roles will now be
permanently assigned to the user profile.
NOTE: The copied roles can also be revoked from the user profile again (see chapter
“Editing Roles of an Individual User Profile”).
10. If you do not want to confirm the changes, click on Back to selection. You go back
to the comparison of the two profiles.
At the end of the action, you will be brought back to the search results.
The user of the user profile with changed roles receives an e-mail for notification. The e-mail
will name the roles that have been assigned. The e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address
that has been saved for the respective user profile.
NOTE: An e-mail is only generated and sent if the role changes have been made to an
external user profile of a supplier. For role changes on internal user profiles of Volkswagen
employees, no e-mails are generated.
- Deleting profiles
- Password administration for profiles
- Checking profile data to ensure they are up to date
- Confirming profiles
In order to fulfill these tasks in UMSWeb, the role with the same name is assigned to the
company admin.
As company admin, you have the possibility to distribute your tasks to other employees in
your company. Designate the employees to be company admins.
- need a representative,
- want to divide the administration of roles per application to various company admins or
- want to completely transfer your role as company admin.
With the following process, you set up additional company admins for your company:
1. You are on the page under the tab User management (button under the line You
are logged in as: …).
2. For the employees that you want to name as company admins, a user profile must be
set up within your company in UMSWeb. If this has not been done yet, proceed as
described in the chapter “Set Up User Profile”.
3. Assign the role "User management: company admin" to the user profile. In this case,
proceed as described in the chapter “Editing Roles of an Individual User Profile”. If
you would like to set up several company admins, follow the instructions in the
chapter “Editing Roles of Several User Profiles”.
NOTE: A user profile with the role "User administration: company admin" has, in the
Search results in the Status column, the symbol , , or .
4. If necessary, assign the company admin admin rights for roles that the company
admin is to edit in the future. To do this, proceed as described in the chapter “Editing
Admin Rights”.
At any time, you have the option of removing the role "User administration: company admin"
from the user profile again. The profile then loses all administrative authorities for the profiles
within your DUNS number.
1. You are on the page under the tab User management (button under the line You
are logged in as …).
2. The user profile whose Company Admins you want to see must be displayed in the
Search results (see chapter „Search for Profiles“).
3. Mark the profile. To do this, click in the check box for the respective profile in the
Search results. A check mark will be set.
NOTE: This menu item is enabled when only a single profile is selected in the search
results. The Admins of several profiles cannot be displayed at the same time.
5. A table with roles is displayed. For each role, the table lists the Company Admins and,
if applicable, Remote Admins that are allowed to assign the role to the selected
profile.
NOTE: To obtain a description of the role and the associated application, place the
mouse pointer on the name of the role and/or of the application (underlined with
dashed lines). A small text field with a description will be displayed.
6. To see the data of a Company Admin, place the mouse pointer on the underlined
name of the Company Admin in the available Admins column of the table. A small
text field with the contact data of the Admin will be displayed.
7. You can write an e-mail directly to the Admin. To do so, click on next to the name
of the Admin in the available Admins column. An e-mail form of your e-mail client
opens. The e-mail address of the Admin is already entered as recipient.
The admin right for a role authorizes the user profile to assign this role to other user profiles
and revoke it. The user profile sees the roles for which it has admin rights in the profile
search and in the role editing.
An admin right also authorizes the user profile to assign this admin right to other profiles with
the corresponding role. In concrete terms, this means that a company admin can assign the
admin rights to the company admins of his/her company.
In each case, an admin right is valid for one organization layer (boundary
"organizationlayer"). This means that the company admin can assign the corresponding role
only to profiles of this organization layer (normally his/her company).
With the following process, you edit the admin rights of a company admin:
1. You are on the page under the tab User management (button under the line You
are logged in as: …).
2. The user profile for which you would like to edit the admin rights must be displayed in
the Search results (see chapter “Search for Profiles”). These must be profiles that
have the "company admin" role.
3. Mark the company admins that have admin rights that are to be edited. To do this,
click in the Search results on the checkbox for the respective company admin. A
check mark will be set.
NOTE: In the Search result, in the Status column, company admins have the

admin (see chapter “View Company Details of a User Profile”).
5. You go to the editing screen for the admin rights: The admin rights of the marked
profiles are each displayed as values of the boundary "grantroles". Under the admin
rights, the organization layer is specified in which the admin rights are valid. The
organization layer cannot be edited.
NOTE: If in addition to company admins, you have also selected profiles that are not
company admins, a corresponding notice is given that the action cannot be used for
profiles without company admin role.
6. For the admin rights that you would like to change, click on Edit.
NOTE: If the "company admin" role is an inherited or copied role, the admin rights
cannot be edited. In these cases, the Edit button is not available.
7. In the following view, the admin rights that are assigned to the profile are displayed in
the right selection list. Admin rights that are also available for assignment are found in
the left selection list. The admin rights are arranged under their respective application
(solution).
NOTE: In the selection lists you see only the admin rights that you are allowed to edit
on the basis of your own admin rights. The application admins of the application
determine the distribution of admin rights to company admins. This means, admin
rights are assigned to a company admin by a Volkswagen-internal application admin.
As soon as the company admin has the admin right for a role, he/she can assign it to
other company admins of his/her company.
8. You add an admin right to the company admin by clicking in the left selection list and
after that clicking on the >>+ button. The value is transferred to the right selection list.
The value is revoked if you click on it in the right selection list and then transfer it to

made. The e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address that has been saved for the user profile.
You can only export groups and companies if you have appropriate authorization.
In addition to further processing of the data, data export also offers the opportunity to display
large search results of profiles, groups and companies at a glance.
The data export works the same for user profiles, groups and companies. The only difference
is that you carry out the data export for user profiles under Search for profiles, for groups
under Search for groups and for companies under Search for companies.
1. You are on the page under the tab User management (button under the line You
are logged in as: …).
2. The user profiles, groups or companies for which you would like to export data must
be displayed in the Search results.

3 User Confirmation
With cyclic user confirmation, user profiles are confirmed at regular intervals by their
Company Admins. User profiles that are not required anymore and that are not confirmed by
their Company Admin are deactivated, which is beneficial for the security on the Group
Business Platform.
If user profiles need to be confirmed in your company (DUNS), the Company Admins and, if
applicable, the Remote Admins, will receive a task through the Group Business Platform.
UMSWeb offers a confirmation function.
Click on the according task within the Group Business Platform leads the user directly to
the according page under the tab User Confirmation. If the Company Admin logs right in
to UMS Web and user profiles need to be confirmed, he or she will also be forwarded to
the according page under the tab User Confirmation.
From here, the Company Admin can change to the User management tab or other tabs at
any time.
The User confirmation tab is provided as long as profiles are to be confirmed within your
DUNS.
If the profile belongs to a current employee of the company, who still works actively using the
Group Business Platform, the profile must be confirmed.
If the profile is not used by the employee anymore or the employee of this profile does not
work for the company anymore, the profile must be denied. After denying the profile it will be
deactivated.
1. You are on the page under the User confirmation tab (button under the line You
are logged in as: …). The table lists the profiles to be confirmed. . Profiles that will
be deactivated automatically within the next 10 days in case no confirmation will be
made are highlighted in red.
2. In order to get more information for a profile, click on the underlined Profile ID of the
profile in the table. The Profile detail view of the selected user profile will be
displayed. Click on the “Back-Button” leads you back to the list of profile IDs that
have to be confirmed.
3. For a profile you want to confirm, click on the check box for the Yes option in the
Confirm column. A check mark will be set. A date field will be shown in the Next
confirmation column in addition.
4. Click on in the Next confirmation column to open the calendar. Select the date
in the calendar as of which the profile is to be confirmed again. The selected date will

If there are no more profiles in your DUNS that require confirmation, you will be sent directly
to the page under User management. The according task within the Group Business

Company Admin, or the Remote Admin if applicable, receives a reminder via Group Business
Platform. As soon as the due date is reached (overall 60 days) and no confirmation has been
made, the profile will be deactivated automatically.

Admin must perform that task manually.

management tab. When activating, the Company Admin specifies the date at which the
profile is to be confirmed again. This date cannot be more than 300 days in the future.

part of the "company admin" and "application admin" roles.

In order to fulfill these tasks in UMSWeb, the role with the same name
is assigned to the company admin.
When profiles are added to the group, these profiles inherit the group
roles. If a profile is removed from the group, the group roles will
automatically be revoked from the profile.
