Corporate Profile

Corporate account for logging in to a corporate profile is provided to the user in eXpress or a branded app by their organization (employer) under a paid corporate license. In the app, a corporate user have a blue icon.

Connecting a Personal Account to a Corporate Account

A personal account can be linked to a corporate account to become a corporate user. The process differs between the eXpress app and custom-branded client apps:

App	Becoming a corporate user
eXpress	Lite CTS In the eXpress app, a personal account user can transition to a corporate user by logging into the corporate account via Settings (avatar button) > Login for corporate users or Accept Invitation (eXpress Lite ). The correspondence from the personal account will remain accessible. Use your phone number and connect your personal account to the corporate server in eXpress to retain your previous chat history from the public RTS server.
Branded App	ETS In custom-branded ETS apps you must log in to the corporate account directly. However, you can log in using your personal account phone number, which associates it with your corporate account. Note that correspondence from the personal account will be unavailable until you log out of the corporate server.

Creating a Corporate Account

For Administrators: Creating and Managing Corporate Accounts

CTS eCTS	Automatically when synchronizing with the corporate directory Active Directory or OpenID. For the first login, users authenticate through these systems. Manually, when the administrator creates a corporate account in the Users section (the first and second methods of creating users can be combined if the Email authentication method is selected). Such users log in to the app using a confirmation code sent to the associated email address. Automatically when a new user registers and enters their email address (self-registration). Later, via the Contacts Bot (if installed on the corporate server), the administrator of this bot can complete the user's details. Other users can access this data only through the bot, as it is not managed on the server or in AD. Such users log in to the app using a confirmation code sent to the associated email address.
