privileges that must be applied.
The selected communities and privileges are applied to the newly invited users when they are onboarded.

An invite mail is sent to the e-mail addresses you provided.
Next steps:
- Users who received the invite mail can click the link provided in the mail and follow the given instructions to sign up to the portal. During sign up, users can provide the password using which they can sign in to the portal.
- 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 will also be added as an API Consumer group in addition to the selected group.
