What are request participants?

Request participants are people who agents or customers have shared a request with. They can view, comment on, and receive notifications about the request. By default, they receive the same notifications as the reporter of the request but can turn off these notifications at any time.

You may add request participants so they can provide more information about a request, or to notify them about a request’s progress.

You can add request participants either from the request in the portal, or in the work item.

Request participants follow work item level security schemes. For example, if an administrator customizes requests so that only reporters can view them, then request participants won't be able to view the request.
