Partner Site Requests

A PartnerSiteRequest represents a request for a Guest Partner to add their Files.com Site to their Partnership with the Host Partner. The Guest Partner's Files.com Site is referred to as the Guest Site in this relationship.

The Partner Admin user representing the Guest on the Host Partner can initiate a request, which generates a pairing key. The Guest Site admin must then approve the request. This ensures that the Partner Admin user representing the Guest on the Host Partner and the Site Admins of the Site are in agreement that the linking should occur.
