What is a temporary member?

Temporary members are individuals that need access to a full group and the underlying content for a set period of time. These members can be added for a restricted period of time ranging from 1 hour to 1 week.

Temporary members are allowed into an individual group. Account Administrators and Group Administrators are able to invite temporary members and choose the period of time that a temporary member has access to the full group and content.
