About Confidants

Confidants are the KodeFile members and parties with whom you share keys. There are five Confidant types, each with their own icon and KodeName format.

For example, John Doe is a Personal Member and an Agent of the KodeFile Enterprise "1SQ Technologies".

Invitee

Invitees are "soon-to-be" members that you have invited to join.
Share keys with Invitees and add them to your Confidant List by searching for their email address.
Their email address serves as their initial "KodeName" and is updated once they join and become a Personal Member.

Description:  "Soon-To-Be" Member of KodeFile. Invited to join.
KodeName Format:  Email Address

Example:
Name:  Jane Doe
KodeName:  janedoe@gmail.com
