Install Apps Distributed to Members
On this page, we will explain how team members can install distributed applications.
To receive apps distributed to a team, users must create a DeployGate account.
Once an invitation is sent to an email address, that email address can only register for an account through the invitation email’s link. Attempts to use other registration methods will fail. Please check your email inbox for an email with a subject fo “[DeployGate] Organization (Organization Name) Invitation.” The invitation link is valid for seven days. Once the link expires, please contact the developer to have a new invitation sent.
