This special page is related to Kentico CMS Groups module. Members of a group can send e-mail invitations to join the group. In the e-mail, there is a link leading to this page with the invitation GUID in query string parameter. When a user clicks the link, they will be redirected to this page where the Group invitation web part handles the invitation and makes the user a member of the group.

 

In order to for the page to be functional, you need to set its alias path in Site Manager -> Settings -> Community -> Invitation acceptation path, as described in this chapter.

 

1. Select the Special pages folder in the content tree and click New. Choose the Page (menu item) document type.
