Now you've granted your user access to your data remotely, they'll receive an email inviting them to access the company.

What they'll need:

• Your Sage 50 Accounts version number - This is the version they must install to access the data
  TIP: You can find this in Help then About in your software.
• Sage account - The user needs a Sage account using the email in step 8 if they haven't already
• The passphrase for your data - this is the password you used when you originally uploaded the data
• The username and password you set up for them to access Sage 50 Accounts
