Note:
Special authorizations are required to invite external supporters. If you cannot see the menu items described in the instructions, please contact the UCO (uco@desy.de) to request the authorizations.

An external supporter can be asked once to participate in a session.

1. Click on the "Share Session(Sitzung freigeben)" button and then on "Invite External Support Engineer(Externen Support-Techniker einladen)" (Figure 1).
2. A security profile must be selected in the following dialog box. This determines which authorizations the external supporter has. If you select the profile, a complete description is displayed. In addition, the name of the invited supporter is entered and in the comment field, why he was invited. Then select "Create key(Schlüssel erstellen)". (Figure 2)
3. A new dialog box displays the session key and a direct URL. This can be copied and sent to the external supporter, or alternatively directly by e-mail using the "Send(Senden)" button. (Fig. 3)
4. The invited external supporter must now download and run the support console.

The external supporter can never own the session. As soon as the session owner leaves the session, the external supporter is logged off. A license is assigned to each external supporter.
