A filter may limit content to a single or set of domains as well as a set of topics or specific urls.

It is not necessary to assign a filter to a specific member. Any existing filter can be enabled and cleared by any admin if they wanted to temporarily simplify the data they were browsing. If a filter is assigned to a member their view will be limited to that content when they login. An administrator could clear an assigned filter. A non-administrator cannot remove a filter so their access will be limited to the defined area.

New members may be invited using the invite page. They will receive an invitation email with a link to create their own password. It is not necessary to invite people who will be accessing the site via Single Sign On. If an account does not exist for anyone accessing my.scangov.com via SSO their account will be created when they finish the SSO authentication process.
