Send Invitation

Invitations allow you to direct potential users to your portal, making it easy for them to create their own user accounts, and letting you customize their initial portal experiences with content that is of particular interest to them. To learn more about invitations, see About Invitations.

To send an invitation, you generate a link to e-mail to recipients. Recipients who follow this link are prompted to create a new account in your portal and can then begin customizing their views of your portal and exploring its contents.

Note: The only way to cancel an invitation is to delete the invitation, so be sure your invitation is correct before you e-mail it to anyone.
