Public/Guest Accounts

You can invite members of the public to be community members. To do so you must be a community administrator.

• Navigate to the Admin Centre of a community and click on Manage Members.

• Click on the Add Guest Members tab and provide the required information.

• Click 'Save'.

• This will create a guest account for the user.

User interface to add a guest community member

If you take this approach and invite members of the public to join a community please note that some of the public community members have limited access to certain functions.

• Public users can't make their own discussion posts.

• Public users can't vote in polls.

• Public can't upload files or comment on files.

If you don't want community administrators to be able to add guest accounts, there is a database setting option you can use to restrict this ability to medtech:admin users only (community_display_guest_enrollment).
