The first name, surname and birthday will be required later by the external person in order to complete the registration.

The request must now be approved by an approver in ITS.

Once the external person has activated their account and logged in to Rocket.Chat, you can add them to the relevant teams and channels.

As an external person, you will receive an e-mail to the e-mail address specified by the applicant.

Now log in with the person who requested the external account for you. Once you have logged in to Rocket Chat, you will be visible and can be added to the relevant teams or channels by a team administrator.
