The updated ONLYOFFICE DocSpace is here with more than 25 new features and improvements across the platform intended to make your work more secure, effective and comfortable. Read on to discover all the enhancements.
All users and guests for free & other updates in user management
In ONLYOFFICE DocSpace 3.0, we are reorganizing user types and roles to make the process of managing users more intuitive, transparent, and cost-efficient for you.
The Accounts section is now named as Contacts and contains three tabs:
- People -> Members
- Groups
- Guests (NEW)
Where to find: Contacts
User types in DocSpace
- DocSpace owner
- DocSpace admin
- Room admin
- Power user -> User (FREE)
- User -> Guest (FREE)
The main updates comprise:
- Inside the rooms, DocSpace owners and DocSpace admins are now able to only perform actions according to the role for which they are invited to this or that room.
- The Power user type became User, and it’s now a free contact. It means you can add an unlimited number of users without any fee.
- The new Guest type is also a free contact. Guests can be invited via rooms and have access only to the rooms they are invited to. Each user has their own list of the invited Guests.
User roles in rooms
Admins can assign the chosen permission level to a user within a certain room:
- Room manager (NEW ROLE)
- Content creator (NEW ROLE)
- Editor
- Form filler
- Reviewer
- Commentator
- Viewer
Each room type comprises different permission levels which can be assigned to its members.
Depending on the given role, users can perform the following actions:
Virtual Data Rooms
Meet the first version of Virtual Data Rooms for advanced file security and transparency. You can use it for secure storing and sharing of confidential business information.
VDRs are commonly used by businesses for due diligence, when they are merging, working on a project, or other joint venture that requires access to the shared data.
Here, you are able to automatically index and track all content, generate a summary report on the room file structure to keep great records and stay organized.
