This access is independent of external providers and is managed entirely via the ems platform. <\/p>\n\n<p>When the system administrator creates the login, you will receive an info e-mail with a link. When you click on this link, you will be redirected to the login screen. If the login was created with the option &#8220;Change password on first login&#8221;, you will be asked to register the new password when you log in for the first time.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Now enter your ems user name and password in the login screen. Then click on <em>ems Login<\/em>. You will be logged in with your user name.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sign in with Microsoft \/ Google Login<\/h3>\n\n<p>With this option, you can log in directly via your existing Google or Microsoft account &#8211; without having to manage a separate password for ems.
