Use VIP Guest / Contributor access when someone needs a Studio identity for ongoing contribution. For a single answer, a Request link may be simpler.

Before you start

Confirm the recipient’s email and intended task. Your channel’s invitation permissions and plan determine the roles and capacity available.

Steps

  1. Open Invite Users in the channel where the guest will contribute and select Standard & other roles.

  2. Add their email, then choose the available VIP Guest / Contributor access level for that recipient. Review the address and role before choosing Invite users.

  3. Ask the recipient to accept with that address. If a personal invitation link is used, the recipient must join with the invited email.

  4. Check the invitation under Admin → Users → Invited; after acceptance, confirm the person under Active.

  5. Share the specific Request, room or accessible content item they should use. Add private-group access only if required and authorized.

  6. Ask them to open the task and complete one contribution. Confirm it arrives in the correct Request or media workflow.

Check the result

The guest can complete the intended contribution without being given unrelated management access. Acceptance alone does not verify access to every item.

If something does not work

  • If the guest is already in the channel, review the existing role instead of creating another invitation.

  • If they only need to share finished content, consider Social. If they only need to answer one collection prompt, use a Request link.

  • Do not assume guest accounts are exempt from your plan’s limits; ask your account contact when capacity is unclear.
