If your dropbox configuration allows it, you can also click the Invite
Outside Submitter link to send an invitation to a user not using
IBM Aspera Faspex.
-
Go to Workgroups and select your dropbox. Select
Invite Outside Submitter
-
Enter the external email address of the invited submitter.
-
Select submission link expiration options:
- After one successful upload: The outside
submitter can only submit one package.
- On a specific date: The outside submitter has
until the date selected to submit to the dropbox.
- Never: The link works as long as the dropbox
exists, or until the outside submitter is removed from the dropbox.
Warning: When outside submitters are invited to access a dropbox,
they are not prevented from sharing the upload link with others. Faspex
records the IP address used to submit packages, but Faspex cannot verify
that the person using the link is the intended contributor. If this is a
concern to your organization, you can identify one of two security options
when sending an invitation to an outside submitter: the submission link
expires after one successful upload completion or the submission link
expires on a specific date. In the case of expiration after the completion
of a successful upload, it is possible for an outside submitter to
initiate parallel uploads using a single link to submit multiple
packages.

Click Save to send an invitation email to the email
address with the submission link.
You can configure your invitation email by modifying the email template. For
more information on configuring email templates, see Configuring Email Notification Templates.Note: After inviting an outside submitter, you can view the upload access
URL or resend the invitation. Go to Workgroups and select
your dropbox. Select View Members. Find the outside
contributor in the members list and select either see access
URL or resend invitation.
