Types of users There are two types of users: regular users and remote users. Regular users can see everybody on the FirstClass Communities system and all public content as well as content they have special permission to see. In addition, they can send peer invites. Remote users (also called peer-invited or external users) can only see the communities of which they are members, as well as their own profiles. They cannot send peer invites. These remote users can create communities, but cannot invite other users to participate. Both regular and remote users are managed by the Custodian. You can upgrade a remote user to a regular user and vice versa.
