Creating and Managing users in DOKKA
In DOKKA, only Administrator users can create, manage, or remove users.
This guide explains how to add new users, edit their roles and permissions, and delete users when needed.
Before You Start
⚠ Make sure you are in the Organization screen (where all companies are listed), not inside a specific company.
User management is only available at the organization level.
How to Create a New User
Click on the grey man icon in the top-left corner (make sure you're accessing it from your organization's page and not from a company)
Select Settings → Users
Click the “Add User” button
Fill in the following details:
Role: Accountant or Regular User and apply optionsl restrictions if needed
→ Click here for more information about user roles and permissionsName and Last Name
Email Address
Country Code and Phone Number
Click Submit
Once the user is created:
- Click on the user’s name
- Select the companies the user should access
- Click “Assign”
⚠ Note: New users will receive an activation email to set their password and log in for the first time.
If the initial code doesn’t work, the user should click “Forgot my password” on the login screen to receive a new one.
How to Edit a User
Go to Settings → Users
Click on the user’s name
Click “Edit”
Make the necessary changes:
Change role (Accountant ↔ Regular User)
Update phone number
Adjust permissions and restrictions
- Click Submit to apply changes
⚠ Note: It is not possible to change the email address of an existing user.
If the email needs to be changed, create a new user with the correct email and delete the old one.
How to Assign Admin Rights to a User
If you’d like to give a user Administrator permissions:
First, create the user as an Accountant (with no restrictions)
Then, open a support inquiry from an existing Admin user
In the request, specify which user should be upgraded to Administrator
⚠ Note: Only the support team can grant administrator rights, and the request must come from an existing admin.
How to Delete a User
Go to Settings → Users (from the organization's screen)
Select the user you want to remove
Revoke their access to all companies:
Click on the user
Select all assigned companies
Click “Revoke”
Then, click “Delete” next to their name
Confirm the deletion
⚠ Note: Deleted users immediately lose access to all DOKKA data.
If the user may return in the future, you can simply revoke access instead of deleting the account.
Additionally, If you are trying to delete a user with Administrator permissions, you must first remove their admin rights.
To do this, an existing admin must submit a support request asking to remove admin privileges from that user.
Once the admin rights have been revoked by support, the user can be deleted as usual.
Managing Access and Permissions
When creating or editing a user, you can:
Assign them access to specific companies only
Prevent them from publishing invoices or editing financial fields
Limit their visibility to only documents they uploaded, were tagged in, or are assigned to approve
