When an external person applies for a guest account, they must name a host. The host needs to confirm the apply, and then send it to the head of department so they can accept or deny. This manual shows how the host do to confirm the apply, and also how the head of department accept or denies the applies. At the end of the manual, we also show you how to extend the guest accounts access.

The host – confirm the apply

When someone has applies for a guest account and makes you the host, you will receive an e-mail.
