Invite a user to their portal

Give an owner or tenant access to their own portal. They set their own password.

Start: the owner’s or tenant’s record Result: they receive an email and set their own password.

Owners and tenants do not sign themselves up. You invite them.

Steps

  1. Open the person’s record.
  2. Send the invitation - the option reads Send them an onboarding email now.
  3. They receive a link, set their own password, and their access becomes active.

Checking who has access

Each person’s record shows their access state:

State Meaning
Not invited the record exists, no email sent
Invited email sent, password not yet set
Active they can sign in

You never see or set their password. If someone cannot get in, re-send the invitation or point them at Forgot password - see reset your password.

Check the email address before sending. The link carries a single-use access token, so sending it to the wrong address means cancelling and re-issuing.
