How do I add a guest?

Team Owners can add people outside UniSA (external users) as Guests. Use the same method as adding Team members, though adding a guest requires typing an email addresses (rather than an individual’s name.)
Note: Guest users must accept invitations using the same account that the invitations were sent to.

  1. To add a Guest, open Teams and click the appropriate Team name.
  2. Click more options (the triple dot menu next to the team name).
  3. Select Add members.
