Accounts

Account types in CRYPE

Private Account

This type is designed specifically for individual users.

Organization Account

Perfect for companies or larger institutions that value secure, privacy-oriented communication. Efficiency can be maximized while keeping data protected with tailored solutions.

Department Account

A specialized variant of the organization account, ideal for individual departments within an organization. Facilitates secure and efficient communication at the departmental level.

Member Account

This account type is intended for individuals within an organization or department. Ideal for secure and direct communication on an individual level.

Guest Account

This account type is designed for guests and does not require user registration. Ideal for quick and secure communication without effort.

Account Status

Public

Default setting: By default, the account profile is set to “Public.”

Privacy: Public accounts are listed in the central CRYPE contact directory and can be searched by any CRYPE user.

Communication: Reachable by other users via messages (C-Mails) or video conferences.

Private

Optional setting: registered users have the option to set their account to “Private.”

Privacy: Private accounts are not visible or searchable in the CRYPE directory.

Communicating with a private account: Although the account is set to private, it is still possible to contact public accounts via C-Mail or video call. However, the private account does not appear in the global CRYPE contact directory, so other users cannot see it.

Bidirectional communication: Once contact is established via C-Mail or call, the entry automatically appears in the chat tab, enabling mutual communication. Both parties can then initiate calls or send C-Mails. If both users have set their accounts to “Private,” one of them must temporarily switch their account to “Public” to establish the first contact, e.g., by sending a C-Mail. After the initial contact, the user can set their account back to “Private.”

Organizations Status

Privacy options: For organizations, there is an additional privacy layer available alongside the fully private account option, which can be used for departments or members.

Specific settings: Organizations can configure their accounts as follows:

Visible to members of the same organization: Limits search and communication to members within the organization.
Visible to users within the same department: By default, restricts interactions to members of the same department.

Closed community: These options allow organizations to form a closed community. Members within an organization or department can search for and communicate with each other. However, CRYPE users who are not part of the organization or department have no access to these members. All communications depend on specific permissions granted by the organization’s user management.

The system ensures flexibility, privacy, and control over visibility and interactions within the CRYPE community, adapting to the needs of both individual users and organizations.

Guest Access in CRYPE

Temporary username: Guest access is granted with a temporary username. If the name is already taken, a different one must be chosen.

One-time use: Guest logins are intended for single sessions and, unlike officially registered accounts, are not linked to a permanent user identity.

Privacy guarantee: When using a temporary guest account, no communication data is stored on the device.

Important note: In line with CRYPE’s commitment to privacy, no information from your guest session is stored. If you need data from your session, please save it manually before ending the session.
