Access Level
Use Add to assign at least one access profile to the user. Se-

set to the setting Read-only.

For encryption the sender requires the public key of the recipient. The recipient decrypts
the data using his private key. To ensure that the public key is the real key of the recipient
and is not a forgery, a so-called digital certificate is required.
This confirms the authenticity and the owner of a public key. It is similar to an official pass-
port in that it confirms that the holder of the passport has certain characteristics, such as
