The Extranet in Bitrix24 lets outside users, like contractors, clients or business partners have limited access to you intranet for the purpose of mutual collaboration, discussions and content sharing inside limited boundaries of extranet workgroups.
When you create extranet groups and invite external users, your employees and extranet users are able to participate in discussions, share files, create tasks, post messages and perform other collaborative activities inside that extranet group. Even though tools available to external users are very similar to the ones that intranet users work with, there are several important distinctions and limitations:
