Saving a workspace invitation as a file

Saving a workspace invitation as a file is a powerful and flexible alternative for inviting people to a workspace. Recipients simply open the invitation file to accept and receive the workspace. For example, with a saved invitation file you can:

Send it as an email attachment to individuals or groups.
Copy it to a floppy disk and deliver to selected people. In this fashion, the invitation file could serve as a backup invitation.
Post the file on a file server to allow anyone with the appropriate network access to accept the invitation.
Place it in a Files tool in another workspace.
Post the file to a Web page to allow anyone with access to the site to download the invitation and join the workspace.

To save a workspace invitation as a file:

Select the workspace and then select File - Save Invitation as File....
Do all of the following in the Save Invitation dialog box, then click OK:

Click Browse to select a location in which to save the invitation file or type a path in the filename box.
Select a role to assign with the invitation.

You can assign only one role in an invitation file. If you are a manager in the space, you can change members' roles later once they join the space.
If you want to require confirming recipients' acceptance of the workspace, click Require acceptance confirmation.

This feature is useful for security purposes. It gives you a chance to authenticate each recipient's identity before you send the workspace.
