When an eForm or Document Package is built within LincDoc, all source documents and data are contained within a Client ID. This Client ID is created when your license key is configured within LincDoc. Administrators have access to every source document within the Client ID, and it allows you to group stored documents into groups.
In a simple organization, perhaps it is acceptable to have all forms accessible by everyone with access to LincDoc, or to only need limited administrative control. However, in larger organizations, where hundreds of documents may be used, Client IDs can be used to determine the visibility of forms based on need (known as multitenancy).
For example, you may have a Client ID for Human Resources and a Client ID for Sales, if these two departments rarely share forms. That way, Human Resources doesn't have to sift through piles of Sales forms, and the Sales department doesn't have to deal with any Human Resources forms.
In addition, each Client ID can have separate administrators, allowing you to even assign and limit administrator access within specific departments.
