Send a new activation link
Email a new link to a person whose invitation has not been accepted yet, for example because their link expired or never arrived. The previous link stops working.
Who can do it
A tenant administrator or a tenant access administrator, or, on a private-cloud or on-premise deployment, a platform super administrator working inside your tenant under a support session. The request needs the permission to update users.
You can only re-send to someone whose permissions in your tenant you cover. On a SaaS deployment, nobody working inside your tenant under a support-access session can re-send a link.
Before you start
- The membership must still be
PENDING. A person who has accepted has nothing to re-send. - Your tenant must be active. While it waits for activation no link exists, and the console offers no re-send: activating the tenant sends the invitation.
- The link reaches the person by email only. The dialog warns you when your tenant's email delivery is not ready.
Steps
- Open Users in the sidebar.
- Open the Pending invitations tab. It shows each invitation with when it was added and when its link expires.
- On the person's row, select Re-send link.
- In Re-send the link, confirm with Re-send link.
What you see when it worked
The console confirms that a new link was sent to the person by email. The person receives a new activation link if they are new to ANKASecure, or a new invitation link if they already have an account; you are never shown the link and cannot tell which one was sent. The row's Link expires moves to the new link's expiry.
If it fails
| What you see | Cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The link could not be re-sent, with the reason | The membership is no longer PENDING, the person holds permissions you do not, or the service could not record the new link | If the person has accepted, nothing is needed. Otherwise ask an administrator who covers the person, or try again later |
| The row has no Re-send link | Your tenant is still waiting for activation | Activate the tenant; that sends the invitation |
| The link could not be re-sent, because the person is completing an assisted recovery | They enrol through the code the recovery gave them; no link is sent until that completes | Nothing to do; the person finishes their enrolment |
Without the console
| Surface | How |
|---|---|
| API | POST /api/v3/admin/tenants/{tenantId}/users/{userId}/regenerate-activation-token (operation regenerateActivationToken) |
The key management CLI and the admin SDK have no command or method for this task.
