To share a Google Site on CGX 2.0 with Gmail/Google users, please follow this procedure:

1. On the Site, click on More Actions, Share this Site 

2. Add the non-CGX account/email to the site (you can share resources with the people from IRRI using their Google Apps irri.org addresses) and select the role: owner, collaborator or viewer

3. You’ll get a warning that you’re inviting someone outside the cgxchange.org domain. This is normal when you invite people who don’t have a cgxchange.org account (you may have noticed it with gmail.com accounts). Click on OK:

4. Write the subject, message and click on Send

6. When the invitee clicks on the link, they will see the CGX 2.0 sign in page. Because they don’t have a CGX account, they have to click on Sign in with a different account. 

They have to type the email address they were invited with and follow the screen instructions for password, after which they’ll land on the site they’ve been invited to:

Note: To go back to the site, the invitees should go straight to the site address, or go to sign in via sites.cgxchange.org and choose ‘Sign in with a different account’
