An invited representative has access only to the session tab and has a limited set of privileges. They can never be the session owner. If the primary representative leaves the session and no other licensed representatives are participating, the external representative is automatically logged out.

You can invite more than one external representative to a support session. Be aware that each external representative does allocate a BeyondTrust license.
