Inviting People to Protected Games

With protected games, you need to explicitly invite people to participate in the game. You can create invitations for players, level designers, achievement approvers, and admins. To create an invitation, take the following steps.

Navigate to Games

Click into the Game You Wish to Create Invitations For

Select Invitations and Click on Invitations List

 Click on +ADD

Create the Invitation

When creating an invitation, you have three primary decisions to make: is the invitation open or closed; what role will invitees have in the game, and if you want to add the invitees into specific groups. 

Open or Closed Invitation 

There are two types of invitations for protected games: open and closed. An open invitation, you create a unique link that anyone can use to access the game. A closed invitation, every person specified in the creation of the closed link receives an email with a unique link that provides them with access to the game.

• Open Invitation:  An open invitation can be used multiple times by multiple people. 
• Closed Invitation:  A user will be emailed a link to the protected course.  Once the user creates an account using the link it cannot be used by anyone else. 

Roles

The people you invite into a game will have a role you define for the game. It is possible to make a person a player in one game and an admin in another. Whatever you decide, you must select a role.

Groups

Invitees can be put into game-groups with the invitation.  You have to have the groups already made to add them to an invitation.

Email

To complete the invitation, provide the email addresses of the people you wish to invite. They will receive an email with their invitation. Note, because closed invitations are unique to the individuals being invited, you must provide email addresses for closed invitations.
