Understanding the Invitation Process
Once the invitation is sent, the recipient will receive an email and encounter one of the following scenarios:
Scenario A: New User or Not Yet Part of the Client Portal
- The recipient will receive an email with an "Accept Invite" button.
- Clicking this button will direct them to a "Set Password" page to create their account.
Scenario B: Existing Member with Login Credentials
- The recipient will receive an email with an "Accept Invite" button.
- Clicking this button will use a magic link to immediately log them into the Group.
📌 Important Note: The invitation link in the email will expire after 30 days for security purposes. The recipient must accept the invitation within this timeframe.
These steps make it straightforward to manage your group membership, whether you're onboarding new members or assigning admin roles.
