Set the invitation method on your project

As the Project Administrator for the project-owning organization, you can control how existing Aconex users are added onto your project.

Tip!

Project Administrators are usually the only people who can add project participants via the project list, however, if you create your own custom user roles, you can also assign them this ability.

  1. Click the Setup button on the Module Menu, and then under Configuration, click Preferences.
  1. Click the Project tab.
  2. Scroll down to Project-wide settings, Invitation, Select project invitation method.
  1. Clear the checkbox in the Use Default Settings column.
  2. Choose the required invitation method in the Select project invitation method list.

    Open – a user who receives a project mail from a project member is added to the project as a full user. This is the default.

    Restricted – a user who receives a project mail from a project member is added to the project as a shadow user.

    Explicit Only – only the project owner can invite new participants to the project.
