You can use policy-protected documents that you receive
from an Adobe® LiveCycle® Rights
Management user, even if you are external to the user’s organization.
To use a policy-protected document, you must register with Rights Management.
If you were not previously invited to register, Rights Management initiates
the registration process when these events occur:
A Rights Management user who wants to send you a policy-protected document
adds you to a policy.
A Rights Management administrator creates an account for
you.
After you register and activate your account, you can
use policy-protected documents that you are authorized to use through
a policy. If the Rights Management administrator enables these features
for invited users, you may have permission to do these tasks:
Protect documents by using Rights Management policies.
Create your own user policies that you can apply to your
documents.
Invite other external users to use a policy-protected document
by adding them to the policy.
Also, when you register, you
do not need to register again to use other policy-protected documents.
Your account remains active until a policy administrator disables
or deletes it.
Note: If you receive a policy-protected
document but do not receive a registration email invitation, contact
the person who sent you the document for more information.
Register as an invited userIf you are an invited user and you receive an email registration
message from Rights Management, you can register by using the URL
in the message to open the online registration page. After you register,
you will receive a second notice about activating your account.
Open the Rights Management registration email. The URL
that the message contains is a link to the External Users Registration
page in Rights Management.
Click the URL or copy it and paste it into your browser.
The External Users Registration page is displayed.
Type your name, telephone number, address, organization,
and password in the appropriate boxes, and then retype your password
in the Confirm Password box. Your password can be any combination
of eight characters.
Click Save. A thank-you message appears informing you to
check your email for an activation email message. You must now activate
your account to finish the registration process.
Activate your invited user accountAfter you register, Rights Management sends you an activation
email. You must activate your account by using the URL in the message.
You can then log in to Rights Management to use policy-protected
documents that you have access to. Depending on the features that
the administrator enables for external users, you may have permission
to create policies, apply policies to documents, and add other external
users to your policies.
Your account remains active until the administrator deactivates
or deletes it.
Open the Rights Management registration confirmation
email.
Click the URL that appears in the message. The Rights Management
Activation page is displayed.
Click the word Here to go to the login page.
In the Username box, type the email address that you registered
under with Rights Management. This email address is your default
Rights Management user name.
In the Password box, type the password that you created when
you registered, and then click Login.
Reset your passwordIf you forget your password, the policy administrator can
reset it for you. Resetting a password generates an email that invites
you to log in by using a temporary password. You can then create
a new password.
For information about contacting a Rights Management administrator
to obtain a new password, check your activation email notice or
other notices from the organization that invited you to register.
Notify the policy administrator that you need a new password.
When you receive the Rights Management password email, open
it and get your new temporary password.
Log in to Rights Management by using the new temporary password.
Click Options in the upper-right corner of the page. The
External Users page is displayed.
Select Change Password and type the temporary password in
the Old Password box.
In the New Password box, type a new password and then retype
it in the Confirm Password box.
