Hi!
I'm new to limesurvey, I wish to know if it is possible to forward survey invitations to a new user.

For istance, suppose admin sends to the registered users a survey invitations. An user, John, recieves the survey invitation email with the survey link. But he does not have time to answer to the survey and he wants to forward the survey invitation to an other user, Mary.

So, it is possible to do survey invitations forwarding?

Thanks to all!

Yes. Since the email contains only a link, the link can be forwarded.
The link can contains a token, which is registered to the person record.
But you don't know the identity of the receiver of the forwarded email.
You only see which token is used. You don't need to use token and open the survey via a generic link.

Is there reason you're asking? Did you experienced issues when using other survey systems?

What he meant is that, suppose you have emails to a lot of persons and use a token table with unique tokens where every person have one unique token each. If person A gets an invite but then forward that email to another random dude called person B you will still think person A answered the survey of that specific token. There's no way you can really know that person A answered the survey if you don't include some kind of personal question, like birth date (if you have the birth date of each person), of course, if person B knows person A's birth date you couldn't tell from whom the answer is coming from.

And as mentioned above, people can forward their invites and someone else can answer, but yet again, you will still think the answer belongs to 'John' if there's no personal questions in the survey that can identify the one that answer.
