Hosted users have the Cloud Client/Tax Client and have Cloud Credentials (tti\firstname.lastname).
Desktop users don’t have a Cloud Client/Tax Client and login directly to the software with the Clients login (no Cloud Credentials). For the desktop version of this article, use Capturing an ERO Signature (Desktop).
