Organization Configuration

Portal

Published 2026/07/09

The portal is your organization's candidate-facing website. Once you configure a portal handle, TestInvite generates a dedicated home page and sign-in page for your candidates at a public URL.

Portal Setup

Before your portal is accessible, you need to set a portal handle — a short identifier that becomes part of your portal URL. Without it, candidates cannot reach your sign-in page and users cannot be added to assessments.

Portal Pages

You can customize the pages candidates see — including the portal home page content, layout, and branding elements shown before they sign in.

Sign-In & Access

Candidates reach your assessments by signing in through the portal sign-in page using their username and password. The sign-in URL is generated automatically from your portal handle.

Before candidates can access your organization's portal, you must configure a portal handle. The handle is a short unique identifier that forms part of your portal URL.

Setting Your Portal Handle

Go to Organization → Configuration → Portal and click the edit icon to open the portal settings. Enter a handle (e.g. acme-corp) — once set, your portal becomes available at:

  • Home page: testinvite.com/portal/{handle}
  • Sign-in page: testinvite.com/portal/{handle}/sign-in
Without a portal handle, users cannot be assigned to assessments and candidates have no sign-in page to access.

Portal pages are the candidate-facing web pages associated with your organization's portal. You can customize their content and layout to match your branding and communication style.

Home Page

The home page is the first page candidates see when they visit your portal URL. You can add a welcome message, instructions, or branding content.

Sign-In Page

The sign-in page presents the login form to candidates. Candidates enter their username and password here to access their assigned assessments.

Portal page content is edited through Organization → Configuration → Portal → edit.

Candidates access their assessments by signing in through your organization's portal sign-in page using the credentials that were created for them in the user repository.

How Candidates Sign In

  1. The candidate visits your portal sign-in URL.
  2. They enter their username and password.
  3. After authentication, they are taken to their assessment list and can begin any assigned assessment.

SSO Sign-In

If your organization has SSO configured, candidates whose email domain matches the SSO configuration are redirected to your identity provider to authenticate instead of entering a password directly.
