Inviting visitors

2023-11-02Last updated

To invite one or more guests for a site visit or event, use the self-service portal. Using a self-service portal with area approvers specified simplifies the approval process, and avoids interrupting a chain of people who might or might not be the correct approvers.

Before you begin

What you should know

You can add visitors individually or import a large list of visitors using a CSV file.
  • If you have fewer than five visitors to invite, add your visitors individually.
  • If you have more than five visitors to invite, prepare a CSV file to import your visitor list.
  • If your identity home site is configured, you are automatically granted access to invite visitors to that site only if the site visitor management options have been configured to allow people to invite visitors.
  • The options displayed when creating a visitor invite can vary depending on the site settings and settings configured for visitor management.
Note: Mandatory fields are highlighted in the user interface with an asterisk (*).
