Guest Links enable project users to generate shareable hyperlinks that provide direct access to specific Channels or Programs. These links can be sent to individuals—whether registered users or external collaborators—for quick, frictionless viewing and feedback without requiring registration or login.
What Are Guest Links?
Guest Links provide a streamlined way to share content with directors, producers, clients, or external reviewers who don't have a RePro account. Recipients can access the latest cut, review footage, or provide feedback immediately by simply clicking the link—no sign-up, no password, no barriers.
This feature is particularly valuable for fast-turnaround feedback loops where onboarding friction would slow down the review process.
Key Benefits
Zero-friction access: Enables fast, sign-up-free access for external reviewers, clients, or stakeholders without the overhead of account creation.
Lightweight feedback loops: Ideal for quick-turnaround feedback scenarios where traditional user onboarding would create unnecessary delays.
Flexible access control: Links can be toggled on or off at any time, giving you complete control over availability.
No account overhead: Reduces barriers for one-time collaborators or executives who prefer link-based access over managing credentials.
Centralised management: All Guest Users are fully manageable from the "Project Users" section, where you can create, delete, edit, enable, or disable access at any time.
How to Create a Guest Link
Creating a Guest Link takes just a few steps:
Navigate to your Project Dashboard in the RePro web management portal.
Click Project Access in the left menu.
Click the Add Guest button at the top right.
In the resulting popup, configure your Guest Link:
Guest name: Enter a name to identify this guest (e.g. "Client Review - Episode 3")
Click Add at the bottom right.
Click View Guest Link on the right-hand column.
If you have multiple channels in your project, you can select only the channel you wish to share on your guest link by selecting it in the drop-down menu.
Copy the generated link using the copy icon or share it directly via email.
Managing Guest Links
All Guest Links are managed from the Project Users page, where they appear alongside regular project users with a "Guest" label.
To manage a Guest Link:
Navigate to Project Users in your project.
Locate the Guest User in the list (identified by the "Guest" label).
Click the Guest User's row to open the details panel on the right.
From here you can:
Toggle access: Enable or disable the link without deleting it
Edit details: Change the guest name or access permissions
Copy link: Get the shareable URL to send to recipients
Delete: Permanently remove the Guest User and invalidate the link
When a Guest Link is disabled, recipients will no longer be able to access the content even if they have the URL.
Security Considerations
Guest Links offer streamlined, account-free viewing that enables directors, producers, and clients to stream content without requiring login credentials or registered user access.
Important: Because a Guest Link can be forwarded, studios and productions with strict security policies should carefully assess their security requirements before enabling this option. Consider whether the convenience of link-based access aligns with your content protection requirements.
For projects requiring tighter security, we recommend using standard Project User accounts with full authentication and access control, or waiting for the enhanced Guest Link security features outlined below.
