You can invite anyone from your domain to be a Contact on your collaboration workspace, even people without permission to access the workspace itself. This allows you to consolidate all your relevant information and contacts without regard to their permissions.

To receive access, a site administrator or an owner has to first add them as users to the Duet Enterprise Web site. For more information, see the See Also section. Click Add new item to add colleagues to your contacts list.
