# Invite myself to the site

If you wish to use the customer app to test the site's access, alarm, and app behaviour from the perspective of the customer, you can invite yourself to the site. This can only be done before the site has been [activated](/smb/test-and-active/activate-site.md) or while in [Installer Mode](/smb/test-and-active/installer-mode.md). As a Technician, you have some restrictions in the customer app. You cannot:

* see the details of any user (except for names in events)
* create, delete, or send invites to users
* close incidents
* manually call out a guard.

You can only invite yourself to sites where you are recorded as being a Technician of the customer's Installer. You can send as many invitations as you like. You can have just one credential per site per technician. If you invite yourself as a user to multiple sites, you can interact with readers at all of those sites and can [switch between sites](broken://pages/TTxme7uKny53UDVNhrK7) in the customer app.

#### Inviting yourself to the site

To request a credential for yourself to the customer's site:

1. If the site has been activated, ask the customer to enable [Installer Mode](/smb/test-and-active/installer-mode.md).
2. Click the **Invite Myself To The Site** button.

   This sends an invitation to the email address entered against your Technician account; there is no option to send it to a different email address. SMS verification is not required.
3. Download the Gallagher SMB app if you have not already.
4. Select the Complete Registration link in the email invitation.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.security.gallagher.com/smb/site-configuration/site-actions/invite-yourself-to-the-site.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
