Invite an account to join a community

A Communities Administrator can invite other accounts to join a community.

An account is added to a community when an invitation is confirmed. An account cannot be added directly, it must be as a result of a successful invitation.

To invite an account to join a community:

1. In the Invitations tab, click Invite.

2. Type the Account ID of the account you want to invite and click Verify.

   The process will continue if the Account ID is validated successfully.

3. Review the features and limitations as described by relevant AVEVA product or Communities-specific service descriptions and select the checkbox to accept the terms and conditions.

4. Select Invite.

   An invitation status row appears with Name, account, invitation date, invitation status details. The icon indicates that the account is invited.

5. The invited account receives a prompt to review the same features and limitations as described by relevant AVEVA product or Communities-specific service descriptions, and can accept or decline the invite. For more information, see Accept a community invite.

6. Once they have accepted you must confirm the invitation. For more information, see Confirm the invited account to be part of the community.

   Note: We recommend configuring communities through the CONNECT user interface. The configuration of communities through the API is not currently supported.
