Corporate Profile

A corporate account for signing in to the corporate profile is issued to a user by their company (employer) under a paid corporate license — for eXpress or a branded app. Corporate users in the app have blue icons.

Connecting a Personal Account to a Corporate Account

A personal account can be linked to a corporate account to become a corporate user. In the eXpress app and branded client apps, connecting works differently:

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 the 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 a branded ETS app you must log in to the corporate account directly. But you can log in with the phone number of a personal account — this way, the personal account will be linked to the corporate account. Note that correspondence from the personal account will be unavailable until you log out of the corporate server.

Corporate Account Features

Server	Features

Creating a Corporate Account

For Administrators: Creating and Managing Corporate Accounts

A Corporate Account is created and managed:

Server	Methods
Lite	Automatically when an invitation is sent by the eXpress Lite server administrator — more details (in Russian only).
CTS eCTS	Automatically when synchronizing with the corporate directory Active Directory or OpenID. For the first login, users authenticate through these systems. Manually, when an administrator creates a corporate account in the “Users” section. If the Email authentication method is selected, manual creation can be combined with directory synchronization. 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, the administrator of the chatbot Contacts Bot can supplement this user's data if the bot is installed on the corporate server. Other users will see this data only through this bot: 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.

Can a User Become Corporate With Only a Phone Number?

Server	Answer
Lite	Yes.
CTS eCTS	No, email or AD/OpenID credentials are required.
