Inviting other users to Confidencial

ℹ️ These instructions show you how to invite others to use Confidencial with an individual account. If you are part of a Confidencial organization and want to invite others to your organization, contact your administrator

⚠️ When you invite another user to join Confidencial with an individual account, a temporary key pair is generated for their account so you can immediately encrypt content for them. This temporary key is stored in Confidencial’s secure key server. Once the invited user registers their account, they will generate a more secure split key. All subsequent encryptions for them will use the split key.

There are two ways to invite users to join Confidencial with an individual account:

• Inviting users via the Invites page in the web or desktop app

• Inviting users via the recipient box in the web app, desktop app, or Office add-ins

Once you have sent invites, you can track their status.
