# \[Video] How to join a local partner as a guest user

This video shows how to join a workspace as a guest user from a local partner invite.

## Key concepts

* A [local partner](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/user-management/explore-partners#h-7e4add33a2) enables guest users to join a subgroup or organization within a workspace to receive shared access to the accounts they need for collaboration.
* **Guest Admins** of a local partner must follow the process to join a workspace as guest users.
* After joining a Cerby workspace, all guest users must turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA). For instructions, read the article [Turn on MFA for your Cerby account](https://help.cerby.com/setup-and-admin/workspace-identity-federation/local-workspace/create-and-configure-a-local-workspace#h-295eef3f10)
* Access to accounts shared by **Host Admins** via a local partner is granted as follows:
* **Guest Admins** are granted the **Collaborator** or **Manager** role on the accounts. As **Managers** , they can share these accounts with other guest users. For instructions, see the video [How to share an account via a local partner](/tips-and-troubleshooting/video-gallery/partners/video-how-to-share-an-account-via-a-local-partner.md).
* Guest users are only granted the **Collaborator** role.

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/tips-and-troubleshooting/video-gallery/partners/video-how-to-join-a-local-partner-as-a-guest-user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
