Welcome invitation link expiration

To help ensure that only valid Users gain access to Flow Production Tracking, welcome invitation links emailed to newly-created people have an expiration.  This way, if an invitation is for whatever reason not accepted in a timely manner, an unauthorized person will not be able to try and use the link later on.  Flow Production Tracking's welcome invitation links can only be used once.  After the User accepts the invitation, it can not be used again, and clicking on it will take the User to the Flow Production Tracking login screen.

Request a New Invitation Link

Even though the welcome invitation links expire, new Users who didn't accept in time can request a new link themselves as long as their accounts are still active in Flow Production Tracking.  Simply clicking the Request Invitation Link button on the expired invitation page will send the User an email with a fresh new working link.

Invalid invitation links

Admins can also deactivate a new User via the status field before the User accepts the invite.  When this happens, the User will not be able to request a new invitation since their account is no longer valid.

Preferences

The duration that welcome invitation links remain valid can be adjusted in the Site Preferences .  Under the Security section, find the New User Invite Expiry (hours) setting.  Flow Production Tracking allows three options to choose from:

• 48 hours.
• 72 hours ( Default ).
• 168 hours (a.k.a. 1 week).

Welcome invitation links must expire.  Flow Production Tracking does not allow them to remain valid forever.
