Setting Up a DATEV User for Memtime
For optimal use of Memtime with DATEV, it is recommended to create a user for API access.
With the steps from this article, it is not necessary to assign rights to each individual user, as this DATEV user will be used for API access.
1. Open User Management
Open User Management in DATEV using the program search.
2. Create DATEV User
In User Management, create the DATEV user. Only the first and last name need to be entered.

3. Connect a Windows user
The DATEV user must be linked to a Windows user. If this user does not exist yet, please create it.
4. Assign Employee
The DATEV user must be assigned to an employee. If this employee does not exist yet, please create it.

5. Connect a Data Center User
The DATEV user must be linked to a data center user. If this does not exist yet, please create it.
6. Check Settings and Complete
Verify that the employee is assigned to all three key areas:
- Employee Management
- Windows PC
- Data Center
After checking, click Finish.

All human icons must be green. A yellow warning triangle indicates an error in the setup.

7. Open Rights Management
Open Rights Management using the program search.
8. Assign Rights to DATEV User
Give the user the following rights, including all sub-items:
- PC Applications β Global Rights β Central Master Data
- PC Applications β Programs β DATEVconnect
- PC Applications β Programs β Own Organization β Subprograms β EO Comfort Connect
Details:
1. PC Applications β Global Rights β Central Master Data β Ordering Terms:

3. PC Applications β Programs β Own Organization β Subprograms:

9. Authenticate DATEV User in Memtime (for Memtime Admins)
Important: This next step is for the creator of the Memtime account, or a Memtime account administrator, and is performed directly in the installed Memtime application.
Once the DATEV user is set up, you as a Memtime admin have access to additional settings for DATEV EO Comfort.
These settings are only visible to Memtime admins and not to regular app users.
You can find them under: Project Management β Settings β Extended
Here, you can link the DATEV user with the necessary rights:

Once this is done, other Memtime users can authenticate normally with their own credentials.
