How to Create and/or Invite People to the Farm

The process of creating and inviting users differs between staff and guests:

1. Staff

You need to first create a new staff member and then invite them to apply for farm entrance.

2. Guests

For guests, you DO NOT need to create a user, but only invite them to apply for farm entrance.


What Are Entrance Request Links

All personnel must submit a Farm Entrance Request Form before accessing the premises. This ensures compliance with farm-specific access policies and biosecurity protocols.
