Inviting users to sign up

As an administrator, you can onboard users by inviting them by emails. Users who receive the invitation can click the link in the mail to sign up to Developer Portal.

Procedure

  1. Expand the menu options, select Manage, click Users.
  2. Click Invite users.
  3. Provide the email addresses of the users.
    When you invite multiple users using one invite, provide an email address, and provide a comma or press Enter. Repeat this step untill you provide all email addresses.
  4. Select the communities and privileges that must be applied.
    The selected communities and privileges are applied to the newly invited users when they are onboarded.
  5. Click Invite.
    An invite mail is sent to the email addresses you provided.
    Users who received the invite mail can click the link that is provided in the mail and follow the specified instructions to sign up to the portal.

    During sign-up, users must provide their username, and the password by using which they can sign in to the portal.

What to do next

  • Users are included to the group that you have selected in the Default group name field in the Administration > Users page. If you have selected any group other than API Consumer, then the invited participant is added as an API Consumer group in addition to the selected group.
  • Users who are invited by administrators by using this feature do not undergo the onboarding approval process, if any. In addition, if you have enabled email verification as a part of your onboarding process, it is ignored for users who sign up using the mail invite.
