In the empower® Admin Center, you can make changes to the general corporate design settings for your company and adjust further software behavior.

If you are given Customizing Admin permissions and work on a Windows device, the option Customizing Center will be visible for you in the button Help and Settings in the empower® Ribbon.

Alternatively, the empower® Admin Center can be accessed via an individual URL that is handed over to you by empower.

Note

If you have not received the required URL, contact your IT (in case of on-premises hosting or corporate cloud hosting) or reach out to empower® Support.

Open a browser of your choice and insert the URL. For authentication, ensure no pop-up blocker is active so that the login screen can be displayed in a new tab in your browser. If a pop-up blocker is active, you will receive a notification.

Login with your credentials and confirm with a click on the button Sign in (Figure 3, “Example Login Window MS Entra ID”). If a two-factor authentication is used in your company, follow all required steps to sign in.
